Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter or use vegan butter, softened
- 210 grams powdered sugar about 2 cups
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 Tablespoons milk divided
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter until fully mixed.
- Sift 1 cup of the powdered sugar into the butter mix and mix until fully incorporated.
- Sift another cup of powdered sugar into the bowl and mix again. Mixture will be crumbly, but keep mixing.
- Once all sugar is incorporated, add vanilla extract and 2 Tablespoons milk. Mix.
- Check consistency and if needed, add another Tbsp. of milk and mix again.
- Use as desired.
Notes
- Use a deep bowl to prevent powdered sugar from dusting up over the bowl. Use a paper towel to block any remaining powdered sugar.
- For thinner consistency, add more milk. A bit thicker, use less.
- Food coloring can be added to create different colors, however, it can make the frosting too thin. Look for coloring that is gel-based like Wilton food coloring.
- For a cinnamon buttercream, add 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon after adding the vanilla and milk.
