Vanilla Buttercream Frosting
 
 
From How to Cook Everything
Author:
Ingredients
  • 8 tablespoons butter, room temperature
  • 4 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 6 tablespoons cream or milk (cream is better)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. Use a fork or electric mixer (I use my KitchenAid with the paddle attachment) to cream the butter. Gradually work in the sugar, alternating with the cream and beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla. If the frosting is too thick to spread, add a little more cream, a teaspoon at a time. If it is too thin (which is unlikely), refrigerate; it will thicken as butter hardens.
