Buttercream Frosting
Ingredients
- 1/2 c Butter, softened
- 8 oz Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp. Vanilla extract
- 2 tsp. Milk
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium-high for 7 minutes.
- Turn the mixer down to low. Add the powdered sugar in batches and beat until the sugar is fully incorporated and smooth.
- Beat in the vanilla and 2 tsp milk. Turn the mixer up to medium-high and beat for 7 minutes, occasionally scraping down the sides.
- If the buttercream is too thick, add milk 1/2 tsp at a time and beating for 1 minute until you reach the desired consistency.
- Yields enough frosting for 8-10 cupcakes. Triple this recipe for 2 dozen cupcakes or to coat a 9" layer cake.
