Butter Cream Frosting

Frosting, frosting, frosting!  Who doesn't love frosting?  Well, I can tell you that everyone in this family LOVES it!  Here's our go-to butter cream frosting recipe.


  • 16 oz. (1 pound) confectioners sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick), softened
  • 4-6 Tbsp. milk or half-and-half
  • 1 ½ tsp. vanilla extract
  • Pinch salt
DIRECTIONS


  1. In large bowl, with mixer at medium-low speed, beat confectioners sugar, softened butter, vanilla, salt, and 3 tablespoons milk until smooth and blended.
  2. Beat in additional milk as needed for easy spreading consistency. 
  3. Increase speed to medium-high, and beat until light and fluffy.
Yield: about 2 1/3 cups
