  • 1 large egg yolk (optional)
  • 5 to 6 tbsp heavy cream or milk , as needed
  • 1 pinch salt

Directions:

  1. In an electric mixer, cream the butter until soft, then beat in the egg yolk, if using, along with the salt and vanilla. Add about 1/4 cup of the sugar and mix on low speed until smooth. Alternately add cream and remaining sugar, blending until smooth between each addition. Scrape down sides of the bowl after each addition. Add a bit more cream if the frosting is too stiff to spread.
