Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 0.25 cup whole milk
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon salt (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the brown sugar and stir until fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to low and slowly stir in the milk. Continue stirring, ensuring the mixture is well combined. Allow it to come to a gentle simmer.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly for 5 minutes. This helps the frosting set properly.
Step 5
Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating with an electric mixer on low speed until smooth and fluffy.
Step 6
Mix in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt if desired. Continue beating on medium-high speed until the frosting reaches a spreadable consistency.
Step 7
Use immediately to frost your favorite baked goods, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
