Frosting

• 1
  Melt and heat the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it is golden brown in color (be careful not to burn), about 5 minutes.
• 2
  Turn heat to low. Add and whisk in powdered sugar and cream until well blended and sugar is dissolved.
• 3
  Remove pan from the heat; add vanilla and stir mixture for about three minutes.
• 4
  Place the frosting in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes until the frosting is cool and thick. If frosting thickens too much, add another Tablespoon cream.
