Buttercream Frosting

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted

Directions

1. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and vanilla. Blend in the sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the milk, and continue mixing until light and fluffy. Keep icing covered until ready to decorate.
