Ingredients

• 1/4 cup butter
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or Kentucky Bourbon
• 2 Tablespoons heavy cream

Directions

1. Put the 1/4 cup butter into a medium-size saucepan.

2. Place the saucepan on the stove top and heat it at MEDIUM-HIGH heat. The butter will melt and then it will brown. Continue to heat it until it has browned.

3. When the butter is a nice caramel color, remove it from the heat and shut off the burner.

4. Stir in the 2 cups of powered sugar.

5. Stir in the vanilla extract.

6. Put the 2 Tablespoons of heavy cream in a small cup and drizzle them in, stirring as you go until the frosting is smooth and spreadable.

7. This is another one of those wonderful no-fail frostings. If it turns out to be too runny, add a bit more powdered sugar. If it turns out to be too thick and stiff, add a bit more cream. Continue to adjust these two ingredients until the frosting is the right consistency.
