Ingredients

• 3 cups powderd sugar
• 1 cup butter (2 sticks)

• 1-2 tablespoons whipping cream or milk as needed
• 1 teaspoon butter extract

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a standing mixer fitted with a whisk, mix together sugar and butter.

2. Mix low speed covering with a towel so the sugar doesn't go outside the bowl until well-balanced and then increase speed to medium and beat for another 3 minutes.

3. Add vanilla and cream and continue to beat on medium speed for 1 minute more, adding more cream if needed for spreading consistency.

Variation: Heat in microwave for 30 seconds to make a glaze.
