Simple Vanilla Buttercream

By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter
• 3 cups icing sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 4 tablespoons milk

Preparation

Step 1

Cream butter in mixer on medium speed. Add sugar alternately with milk (one tablespoon at a time) on low until you get enough of a consistency to spread--smooth but not too runny. Turn mixer speed to medium to high and add vanilla. Whip until fluffy and all ingredients are combined.

Spread buttercream on any cake or cupcake.
