  Preparation Time: 0:15
  Sprinkle 1/2 cup sugar in a heavy saucepan; place over
  medium heat.  Cook, stirring constantly, until sugar melts
  and syrup is light golden brown. Combine remaining 2-1/2
  cups sugar, milk, beaten egg, and salt, stirring well; stir
  in butter.  Stir butter mixture into hot caramelized sugar.
   (The mixture will tend to lump, becoming smooth with
  further cooking.) Cook over medium heat, stirring
  frequently, until a candy thermometer registers 230 degrees
  (about 15 to 20 minutes).  Cool 5 minutes.  Beat with a
  wooden spoon to almost spreading consistency (about 5
  minutes), and spread on cooled cake.  Yield:  about 2-1/2
  cups.
