Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 1⁄2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
-
In a bowl add sugar then add butter. Beat till blended. Next add salt.
-
Then add the milk and vanilla and beat for an additional 3 to 5 minutes or until smooth and creamy.
Notes
- Ensure that your butter is at room temperature before you begin mixing the frosting. This is crucial for achieving a smooth and creamy consistency, as cold butter can result in a lumpy texture that won't blend well with the sugar and other ingredients.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar to the butter mixture, incorporating it slowly to avoid a sugar cloud and to ensure that the frosting achieves the desired sweetness and thickness. You can adjust the consistency by adding a small amount of milk or cream if the frosting is too thick, or more powdered sugar if it's too thin.
