How to Make Grandma's Penuche Frosting
- Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
- Add 2 cups packed light brown sugar and stir constantly. Bring to a rolling boil.
- Boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Remove from heat and let the mixture cool and rest for 15 minutes. This allows the frosting to set up.
- Stir in 1/4 cup of hot milk. (The hotter the milk, the smoother the frosting will be).
- Gradually add 3 cups of powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating continuously until the frosting reaches a smooth, spreadable consistency.
- If the frosting becomes too thick, add a teaspoon of hot milk at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
