Caramel Filling

Source of Recipe

THE MAMA'S COOK BOOK - Mildred S. Smith


Recipe Introduction

Sometimes "Filling" means frosting or icing. The MAMA'S COOK BOOK was prepared by the Pre-School Group of the Louisville (Georgia) Parent Teacher Association many years ago when most women knew the ins and outs of cooking. Therefore part of the directions are sometimes left out.

List of Ingredients

2 cup sugar
1 cup buttermilk
1 tsp. soda
1/2 stick butter
1 tsp. vanilla


Recipe

Mix sugar, buttermilk and soda and cook until it will form a soft ball when tested in cold water. Remove from heat, add butter and vanilla and beat until proper consistency for spreading. Be sure and use large sauce pan as the soda makes the sugar and milk foam and has tendency to boil over.
