Perfect Buttercream

By norsegal8

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 4 1/2 to 5 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoons vanilla
• 5 Tablespoons heavy cream or milk, I prefer heavy cream
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Step 1

INSTRUCTIONS
In a medium bowl combine butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, cream/milk and salt and beat for 5 to 7 minutes until light and fluffy.
Add more powdered sugar as needed for thicker frosting. Add cream/milk, a little at a time, to thin frosting.
NOTES
If you are frosting cookies or a cake use less powdered sugar. If you are using the frosting to decorate use more powdered sugar for a stiffer frosting.
