Butter Cream Icing (Buttercream Frosting) image

I use Recipe #95416 when I'm decorating a cake but we like this version on brownies, cookies or undecorated cakes. I cut the recipe in half for brownies. Goes really well on Recipe #2496. Freezes well also. (If you have leftovers, put it between graham cracker for a delicious snack or dessert. My kids love it that way!)

Time 12m

Yield 3 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup real butter, no substitute
1 1/2 teaspoons clear vanilla extract
1 pinch salt (optional)
5 cups confectioners' sugar
2 -3 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Cream butter and then add vanilla and optional salt. (To cut the sweetness I usually sprinkle some salt in the vanilla, so it will dissolve.).
  • Add sugar a cup at a time beating on medium speed. Add milk 1 Tbls. at a time and beat on high until completely blended and desired consistency.
