J.J. Abbott operated the "Big Friendly" which was the company store in Ware Shoals, SC when Riegal Textile was in operation. J.J. Abbott's wife, Beulah, would prepare a cake when any of the top brass was sick or a member of his family was sick. Beulah's cake was a plain cake covered with this frosting. After J.J. passed away, Beulah continued to provide her cakes with this frosting to anyone in town who was sick.
4 cup sugar
1 1/4 cup of milk
1 stick of butter
Put 1 cup of sugar in a heavy iron frying skillet and brown. Do not have pan too hot. Stir constantly.
Mix milk with the remaining sugar in a sauce pan. Let boil. Remove from burner and slowly add the brown sugar.
Return to burner and add butter.
Cook until it forms a tadpole when dropped in cold water.
Place mixture immediately in another pan (do not scrape). Cool by placing in a pan of cold water. Beat until it is spreading consistency.
