Frosting
- In a small saucepan melt butter and cook over medium heat until butter is a golden color, stirring consistently.
- As soon as butter is golden, remove from heat and beat in powdered sugar, vanilla and 1 tablespoon of milk using a hand mixer. Add more milk until the consistency you desire is reached. if you prefer more of a glaze than a frosting you will need to add a few more tablespoons of milk than the recipe calls for.
- Frost top of cake.
- Slice and serve.
