HOMEMADE CARAMEL FROSTING

Steps:

• Sprinkle 1/3 cup sugar in a shallow, heavy 3½-qt. Dutch oven; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, 3 minutes or until sugar is melted and syrup is light golden brown (sugar will clump). Remove from heat.
• Stir together 1 Tbsp. flour and 2½ cups sugar in a large saucepan; add milk, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
• Gradually pour about one-fourth hot milk mixture into caramelized sugar, stirring constantly; gradually stir in remaining hot milk mixture until smooth. (Mixture will lump, but continue stirring until smooth.)
• Cover and cook over low heat 2 minutes. Increase heat to medium; uncover and cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reaches 238° (soft-ball stage, about 10 minutes). Add butter, stirring until blended. Remove from heat and let stand, without stirring, until temperature drops to 110° (about 1 hour).
• Pour into bowl of heavy-duty electric stand mixer. Add vanilla, and beat at medium speed (setting 4) with whisk attachment until spreading consistency (about 20 minutes).

CARAMEL FROSTING

Steps:

• Add the sugar to a medium-sized, heavy bottom saucepan over medium heat.
• Gently stir the mixture. The sugar will first form clumps. Continue stirring.
• As you stir the mixture the clumps will eventually melt and it will turn into a dark amber colored sauce.
• Carefully add in the chopped batter while whisking with a metal whisk.
• Once the butter is totally melted, whisk in the creamy. Make sure to constantly whisk the mixture.
• Remove from the heat and whisk until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
• Cool fully. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
• In a large bowl, beat the butter until softened.
• Beat in 1/2 cup fully cooled caramel sauce (you will need to measure out 1/2 cup of the caramel sauce you made - you will not need all the caramel you made), vanilla extract and salt.
• Beat in 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar, starting with the mixer on low speed.
• If needed beat in the rest of the sugar, if needed, for thicker, sweeter frosting. If your frosting seems a little too thick, beat in the cream 1 tablespoon at a time.
• Decorate cakes or cupcakes using a piping bag or a knife.
• Optionally drizzle with additional salted caramel.
