The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Creamy caramel icing that's rich, buttery, and perfect for topping cakes. Simple ingredients and a touch of vanilla make it irresistible.
2 1/2 cups sugar, divided
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 cup butter, cut up
3/4 cup sweet milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Put 1/2 cup sugar in iron skillet and set aside.
Beat egg and remaining 2 cups sugar until moist and creamy. Add milk and butter and cook over low heat until butter melts.
Turn heat on under skillet on low and heat until sugar is light brown and runny.
While sugar is browning, increase the heat under the other ingredients, stirring constantly. When liquid mixture comes to a boil and the sugar is brown and runny, add the hot sugar to the boiling liquid mixture. Cook until it reaches the soft ball stage, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Cool slightly. Add vanilla. Beat until the consistency is right to spread. If it's too thick, add a little more milk.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
