Instructions
0 Beat the softened unsalted butter (½ cup, i.e. 1 stick) on medium-high speed for 2 minutes until smooth. 1 Turn the mixer to low speed then add the powdered sugar (1/4 cup at a time, 2 ½ cups total). You may need to stop and scrape down sides. 2 Add vanilla extract (2 teaspoons) and salt (⅛ teaspoon) and turn mixer to medium speed. One tablespoon at a time, add milk (2-3 tablespoons). Beat on high for 2-3 minutes until creamy and the frosting is at a good consistency to pipe.If it looks too runny, add more powdered sugar. If it looks too stiff, add a tiny bit of milk until you get to the desired consistency. 3 If adding sprinkes, be sure to add them right way before the frosting hardens. 4 See notes below for storing instructions.View original recipe
