Creamy and rich, Penache Icing features caramel-like flavors with butter, brown sugar, and milk, perfect for drizzling over cakes or cupcakes for a delightful treat.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a heavy saucepan, melt the butter.
- Add the brown sugar to the melted butter and stir to combine.
- Pour in the milk and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and let cool to a lukewarm consistency before using.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother icing, sift the powdered sugar before adding it to the mixture. If you want a thicker consistency, gradually add more powdered sugar until you reach your desired thickness. You can substitute half of the butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free version. Be sure to keep stirring once the milk is added to prevent burning.
Serving Suggestions
Penache icing is delicious drizzled over cakes or used to frost brownies. It pairs beautifully with Irish Soda Bread(1 Loaf) for a unique twist. Consider serving it alongside a cup of coffee or tea for a delightful afternoon treat. You could also use it to enhance your favorite desserts like Squash Pies or Grandma Debrun'S French Cookies.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Penache icing in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. If you need to refrigerate it, make sure to let it come back to room temperature before using. Reheat gently in the microwave in short bursts, stirring in between, to restore its pourable consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make Penache icing in advance?
Yes, you can make the icing in advance and store it as mentioned. Just be sure to let it cool completely before storing. When you're ready to use it, warm it slightly to regain its pourable texture.
What can I substitute for brown sugar?
If you don't have brown sugar, you can use granulated sugar mixed with a bit of molasses. For every cup of granulated sugar, add 1 tablespoon of molasses. This will mimic the flavor and moisture of brown sugar.
How can I make this icing more flavorful?
To add more flavor, consider incorporating a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of salt. You can also experiment with flavored extracts like almond or hazelnut to give your icing a unique twist.
