Mom's Caramel Icing
1/2 stick of butter or margarine
1 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup milk
Put all together in small saucepan and bring to a hard rolling boil.
Remove from heat at this point and add about 1/2 box confectioner's sugar (powdered sugar). Beat or stir with whisk till it loses its gloss and pour over cake while it is still fluid enuf to pour. Somtimes it will seem like it is little thin yet, but it sets up fast when it begins to cool.l
