Homemade Buttercream Frosting

Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

4 cups powdered sugar, sifted

2-3 tablespoons heavy cream or milk

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Instructions:

Cream the Butter: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until it's smooth, creamy, and has a pale, almost white appearance.

Sift in Sweetness: Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition. This ensures your frosting remains lump-free.

Liquid Love: Add the vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream or milk. Beat on high until the frosting is light and fluffy. If you desire a softer consistency, add the additional tablespoon of cream or milk and blend well.

Seasoning: Introduce a pinch of salt and mix until just combined. This will balance out the sweetness and bring out the richness of the butter.

Your Whipped Buttercream Delight is now ready to grace any dessert with its silky, sweet presence. Spread or pipe as desired and witness the magic it brings to your creations!
