Instructions

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and stir in brown sugar. Cook for 2 minutes until sugar dissolves.
Add milk and bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Gradually mix in sifted powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Spread or pipe onto cakes, cupcakes, or cookies.

Notes

Let frosting cool slightly before spreading to avoid melting the cake.
Adjust consistency by adding more milk (for thinner frosting) or more powdered sugar (for thicker frosting).
