  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter softened
  • 4-5 cups Powdered Sugar sifted

Instructions

  • Put the softened butter in a large bowl and beat it on medium speed for about 2 minutes, until it looks smooth and pale.
  • Add 4 cups of powdered sugar, then pour in the milk and vanilla extract.
  • Mix on low until the sugar starts to blend in.
  • Turn the mixer up to medium-high and beat for 2 to 3 minutes, until the mixture is creamy and thick.
  • Add the rest of the powdered sugar, about 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition until you like the consistency.
  • Toss in a pinch of salt and beat on high for 3 to 5 minutes.
  • This gives you a fluffy texture that’s great for spreading or piping.
  • Scrape down the bowl, then mix for another 30 seconds to smooth everything out before you use it.
