Old-Fashioned Caramel Icing is the most delicious icing for cakes, muffins, donuts, and cinnamon rolls. This icing was passed on to me from my mother and it’s a staple in my kitchen!
Ingredients:
3 c white granulated sugar
1 1/3 c white whole milk
1 1/2 stick cold butter
5 Tbsp white granulated sugar
Combine 3 cups sugar and milk in a heavy sauce pan on medium heat. Stir together for a few minutes. Allow to continue to heat.
While milk and sugar are heating, place a small black iron skillet on med. to med. high heat.
Add the 5 tablespoons on sugar. Stir in the skillet until the sugar liquifies and then turns golden brown. It will be bubbling hot.
Now the milk and sugar should be very hot. Carefully pour in the browned sugar from the skillet.
