The Best Buttercream Frosting Recipe
Ingredients
- Butter1 cup
- Sugar4 cups
- Salt½ tsp
- Vanilla1 tbsp
- Heavy cream3–5 tbsp
Instructions
- Beat the butter and salt on medium-high speed for 5 minutes, or until pale, smooth and creamy, scraping down the bowl halfway through.
- Turn the mixer to low and add the sugar 1/2 cup (60 g) at a time, adding 2–3 tablespoons of cream now and then and scraping the bowl so everything mixes in. Add the vanilla extract.
- When all the sugar is in, mix on medium-low for 1 minute until light and fluffy.
- If needed, add more cream 1 teaspoon at a time until smooth and spreadable, or stiff enough to pipe. If it becomes airy while you prepare, stir on low or by hand to smooth it again.
