Yield: 2 1/2 cups | Prep time: 10 min | Total time: 10 min

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, slightly softened (salted sweet cream butter recommended)
  • 2-3 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 lb powdered sugar (about 4 cups)
  • 1-2 tbsp milk, as needed

Directions

  1. Add the slightly softened butter and vanilla extract to a mixing bowl.
  2. Mix the butter and vanilla together until fully combined, about 2 minutes on medium speed.
  3. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  4. Measure 1 lb (4 cups) of powdered sugar and add it to the bowl.
  5. Start the mixer on the lowest setting until the butter and sugar are incorporated, about 30 seconds. Stop and scrape down the bowl. Increase to medium-high and mix for 30-45 more seconds, until light and fluffy.
  6. If the frosting is dry or crumbly, add 1 tsp of milk and mix again.
  7. Taste and adjust consistency or vanilla as needed, adding milk a teaspoon at a time if it’s too thick.
