Coconut-Pecan Frosting

Ingredients

• 1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup evaporated milk
• 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
• 1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut

Instructions

1. Bring butter, sugar and milk to a boil in a pan on top of the stove. Cook and stir for about 3 minutes.

Notes

This is an excellent frosting to pour over a hot cake which has holes made by the handle of a wooden spoon.
