List of Ingredients




3 cups sugar, divided
3/4 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup butter or margarine, cut up


Recipe



Sprinkle 1/2 cup sugar in a heavy saucepan; place over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until sugar melts and syrup is light golden brown. Combine remaining 2 1/2 cup sugar, milk, beaten egg, and salt, stirring well; stir in butter. Stir butter mix into hot caramelized sugar. ( The mix will tend to lump, becoming smooth with further cooking.) Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until a candy thermometer registers 230°F (about 15-20 minutes). Cool 5 minutes. Beat with wooden spoon to almost spreading consistency (about 5 minutes), and spread on cooled cake.

YIELD: 2 1/2 cups
