Betty’s Buttercream Frosting Recipe
ADVERTISEMENTS
Welcome back!
In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make her easy and fantastic Buttercream Frosting. This will be demonstrated as a frosting for cookies, but it is appropriate for cakes, cupcakes, cookies, muffins, doughnuts, and just about anything you like spread with a sweet and delicious topping! Ingredients: 16 oz. package confectioners sugar ½ cup butter, softened 3 tablespoons milk 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Use an electric mixer on low speed to beat 16 oz. confectioners sugar, ½ cup butter, 3 tablespoons milk, and 2 teaspoons vanilla until well blended and smooth. If the frosting is too thick, add a small amount of milk. If it is not thick enough, add more confectioners sugar. When it is of spreading consistency, it is ready to use. You may refrigerate it until later. When you remove it from the refrigerator, let it stand until it reaches room temperature for easiest handling. This recipe will make approximately 2 ½ cups of frosting.

@MsSinger991 I would double it, so that it will not have a thin icing.

@mahima925 You may omit the vanilla extract, or substitute another flavor, like lemon or almond.

@BlondeXchickKxx Confectioner’s sugar is very white and powdery. It is also called powdered sugar or icing sugar.
