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.
