Simple Buttercream Frosting

December 19 2017

Ingredients

3 cups confectioners sugar
1 cup unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 – 2 tablespoons whipping cream, milk, or half-and-half
Pinch of salt

Directions

1. Cut softened butter into cubes and put it into a bowl.
Cutting the butter smaller will make it easier to mix.
2. Beat the butter at low speed for at least 5 minutes until it is light and fluffy,
has reached a much lighter color (near white) and has doubled in size.
You can us a handheld beater, an electric mixer, or a food processor with a whisk attachment.
3. Add half of the sugar and mix it into the butter.
You will be adding the rest of the sugar later;
adding the sugar a small amount at a time will help prevent it from flying out everywhere.
4. Add the rest of the ingredients and continue mixing at a low speed.
Adding only 1 teaspoon of milk or cream will make the frosting more stiff and is perfect for designing using a frosting tip but if you prefer a more loose and 'spreadable' butter cream you can opt for 2 tablespoons.
If you're still uncertain with the amount of milk or cream to add,
you can just add 1/2 a teaspoon first to check. You can also substitute the vanilla extract for 1 teaspoon of a different flavor.
For a lighter buttercream, consider using milk instead of whipping cream.
If you would like to make your buttercream less sweet, then add a pinch of salt.
5. Consider adding some coloring. You can leave the buttercream plain,
or you can make it coloring by adding a few drops of food coloring or gel icing coloring.
Keep in mind that some flavorings, such as cocoa powder, will already tint the icing darker, so the coloring will not show up.
Add the rest of the sugar and beat the icing again using a high speed setting.
This will give you frosting that is light and fluffy. You will need to beat it for about two to three minutes. If the cream is too thick, add some more cream, milk, or half-and-half. Start with one tablespoon, mix, then add more if necessary.
If the cream is too thin, add a little bit more confectioner's sugar
Enjoy

This is what it will look like after cupcakes.
