This Homemade Buttercream Icing Recipe is one for the books! Not too sweet, it's perfect!

Ingredients

  • 3 c. powdered sugar

  • 1/3 c. butter, softened

  • 1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract

  • 1 - 2 Tbsp. milk

Directions

  • Mix powdered sugar and butter on low speed with an electric mixer.

  • Stir in vanilla and 1 Tbsp. of the milk.

  • Gradually mix in just enough of the remaining milk to make the frosting smooth and spreadable.  If frosting is too thick, beat in more milk, a few drops at a time.  If frosting becomes too thin, beat in a small amount of powdered sugar.

  • If you are wanting to add flavor to your icing this is the time to do so.  Add freeze dried fruits, 1 Tbsp. at a time for added color or flavoring.

  • Separate icing into smaller bowls to add all-natural coloring and flavors.
