Title: Caramel Frosting
Categories: None
Yield: 1 Servings

1 c Brown sugar
1/3 c Milk
1 ts Butter
1/2 ts Vanilla (could use maple
-here if you would like)

Combine the sugar, milk, and butter; boil steadily until the mixture forms
a thread when a little is dipped up with a spoon. Add the vanilla; beat
until creamy; spread on the cake while it is still warm.

**note: the handwritten recipe claims to be taken from "The Service
Cookbook number one" by Mrs. Ida Bailey Allen copyright 1933 (of which I
have a copy but I pulled the recipe from the box instead of leafing through
this wonderful book).
