Recipe Introduction
Posted by: TriainAtlanta *******This one may not be that quick but it is the best caramel icing I have
ever had and it, too, is addictive. Very unique!
List of Ingredients
1 tsp. baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups white granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 tsp. pure vanilla
can also add few drops of almond extract and/or nuts - pecans are
good.
Recipe
Dissolve soda in buttermilk and cook slowly w/ sugar and butter. Cook
until thermometer reaches soft ball stage (forgot number). It takes a while
and you need to watch it carefully, and stir occasionally. It turns a
caramel color.
Cool and add flavoring and some nuts, if desired.
Beat until thick and creamy. This sets up fast and it is best
served/poured on a sheet cake. It is really delicious and tastes like
caramel fudge!
Hope you try it and enjoy!
