Butterscotch Icing

1. 1

   Combine the shortening, salt and xxx sugar into a large bowl, adding the sugar gradually and creaming well.

2. 2

   Put aside.

3. 3

   Combine brown sugar, butter, 1/4 cup milk and corn syrup in a saucepan and cook until a small amount forms a hard ball in cold water (250u00b0), stirring constantly after the mixture starts to boil.

4. 4

   Quickly heat 3 tablespoons milk and add to the first mixture, then gradually pour in the cooked mixture.

5. 5

   Beat until thick and smooth enough to spread on 2 (8-inch) cakes or 1 (10-inch) loaf cake. Frost quickly as this thickens rapidly.

6. 6

   A hot spreader helps.
