Ingredients for Homemade Caramel Frosting
To make this frosting, you’ll need:
- Granulated sugar: You can’t have caramel without sugar. As the sugar cooks, it caramelizes and deepens, providing an irresistible flavor.
- All-purpose flour: Helps thicken the frosting.
- Whole milk: Helps thin the hot caramel for a smooth consistency.
- Salted butter: Use salted butter for a touch of salt to balance the sweetness of the frosting. If using unsalted, season with salt to taste after whipping.
- Vanilla extract: Enhances the flavor of the frosting.
