Basic Vanilla Buttercream Icing Recipe

As with the Vanilla Cupcake recipe, Buttercream Icing is fantastic on its own, or can be altered to create pretty much any flavour icing you can imagine.

Ingredients

150g Softened Unsalted Butter
1/4 cup Milk
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
500g Icing Sugar

Method

Beat butter until pale & fluffy. Add the milk & vanilla extract and beat until combined.

Gradually add in the icing sugar until desired consistancy is achieved.

(If your icing becomes too dry, add a little more milk. If too runny, add more icing sugar)
