Buttercream Frosting Recipe
Description
The Buttercream Frosting recipe begins by beating softened butter until light and creamy. Powdered sugar is gradually mixed in alongside milk, vanilla extract, and salt to achieve a smooth consistency. Beating at high speed finishes the frosting with an airy, fluffy texture.
This frosting has a classic sweet vanilla flavor with balanced richness from the butter. It is spreadable and holds well on baked goods, making it suitable for decorating cakes or cupcakes.
Milk can be adjusted to reach the desired frosting consistency, while the salt helps enhance the vanilla flavor. The frosting is best used shortly after preparation.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups butter softened
- 6 cups powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup milk or half and half
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Beat the butter in a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and salt, and mix to combine. Add milk or powdered sugar as needed to make a smooth frosting.
- Beat on high for 2 minutes, until light and fluffy.
