Ingredients
- 1/2 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 it starts to look creamy.
- Gradually sift one cup of powdered sugar at a team until it is fully incorporated.
- Once all sugar is incorporated, mix in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add 2-3 tablespoons of milk until the frosting is the consistency you want.
- Mix your preferred food coloring into the frosting.
- Spread frosting on your favorite cakes and cookies.
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.
