Bake in pre-heated 425 degree oven for 12-15 minutes. Cool and ice

Burnt Butter Icing

1/4 stick butter

1 cup powdered sugar (add more or less for desired consistency)

1 tsp vanilla

Place the butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the butter is a nice tan color. If it gets dark brown or black you have allowed it to burn too long. When butter has been "burned" remove the saucepan from the heat.

Slowly mix in confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Beat on high speed of an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
