2 (5-ounce) cans evaporated milk
1 cup unsalted butter, softened

Directions:
Before beginning to make this icing, read the entire recipe, noting that two pans will be on the heat at the same time. Place 1/2 cup sugar in a small saucepan or skillet. Set on stove. Place remaining 4 cups sugar, evaporated milk, and butter in a large saucepan. Set on stove. Cook sugar in small pan over medium-high heat, whisking constantly until caramelized or amber colored, approximately 4 minutes. At the same time, bring ingredients in large pan to a boil over high heat, whisking constantly. (The objective is for these ingredients to come to a boil at the same time as the sugar in the other pan turns amber in color.) When milk mixture begins to boil, carefully add caramelized sugar, stirring constantly. (Be careful; mixture is very hot and may give off hot steam that can burn you!) Cook mixture for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Let cool for 1 minute. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer for 1 minute. Use immediately.
