Easy Butterscotch Glaze Food

EASY HOMEMADE BUTTERSCOTCH SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan (not non-stick) over medium heat.
• Add the brown sugar, salt and heavy cream and stir the mixture with a rubber spatula until it's well blended. Bring the mixture to a boil, scraping down the sides occasionally, and boil it for 4 to 5 minutes.
• Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Transfer the butterscotch sauce to a container to cool. (See Kelly's Notes.)

BASIC GLAZE ICING

Steps:

• Put the sugar in an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. With the mixer on the lowest speed, slowly add the water, the corn syrup and vanilla extract. When the sugar is sufficiently moistened (it won't fly out of the mixer), raise the speed to high, and beat for 2 minutes until completely smooth and glossy.
• Divide and color, as desired. Store at room temperature, covered with plastic wrap directly on the surface of the icing, to prevent forming a skin.
• For cupcakes: Dip the surface of the cupcakes into the icing, allowing excess to drip into bowl. Clean any excess from the sides. Alternately, use a knife or a spreader to apply. Whisk as needed to keep icing glossy and smooth while using.
• For Light Blue Icing: Combine 2 to 3 drops of blue food coloring to 1 cup of Basic Glaze Icing.
• For Deep Yellow Icing: Combine 4 to 5 drops of yellow food coloring to 1 cup of Basic Glaze Icing.
• For Purple Icing: Combine 4 drops of red and 5 drops of blue food coloring to 1 cup of Basic Glaze Icing.

BUTTERSCOTCH FROSTING

Steps:

• Melt butter in a heavy saucepan over med-low heat.
• Add brown sugar and stir constantly with wooden spoon.
• After 2-3mins, sugar will melt and mixture will become smooth, then begin to bubble (it's ok if it looks separated at this point).
• Once this happens, stir constantly for 2mins (less if sugar smells like it's burning).
• Carefully add cream and stir for another 2mins.
• Mixture will thicken slightly and look smooth and glossy.
• Remove pan from heat and let cool for 5mins, stirring frequently.
• Beat in confectioners' sugar and vanilla with wooden spoon.
• If frosting seems a bit dry, add more cream, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, until thick, smooth and spreadable.

MOM MOMS BUTTERSCOTCH ICING

Steps:

• On stovetop melt the butter, add the brown sugar and boil over low heat for two minutes, stirring constantly. Add the milk, stir until the mixture comes to a boil again. Remove from heat and allow to cool to about room temperature.
• Slowly beat in the confectioners sugar, using more or less sugar depending on the consistency desired. Beat until mixture is thick enough to spread.
