                    I tried to replicate the buttercream from the Good Housekeeping cookbook, mainly because the book fell apart & the page got lost. I made this for my father's birthday cake, w/ the addition of coconut extract in place of vanilla. Very good. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                1 cup butter, softened  |  
                                                4 cups powdered sugar  |  
                                                2 tablespoons milk  |  
                                                1 teaspoon vanilla extract  |  
                                                1 pinch salt  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. 1. Using whisk attachment on mixer, beat together butter & sugar until well combined. 2. 2. Add milk, vanilla & salt. 3. 3. Beat until fluffy & spreadable, about seven minutes.                              |
