The title says it all! Super yummy and the longer you whip it the silkier, creamier, and lighter it becomes! I would definitely suggest using good quality ingridients such as using good vanilla, freshly opened powdered sugar, and good quality butter-no margarine here! The flavors really come out in this frosting and it is so easy, simple, and fun! Ingredients:
3 cups powdered sugar |
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temprature (a bit over 1/3 a cup) |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
3 -5 tablespoons half-and-half |
1 pinch salt |
Directions:
1. Measure and place 3 cups powdered sugar into a medium or large mixing bowl.
2. Add the softened room temprature butter, 2 tsp of vanilla, and begin with 2 T of half and half.
3. Using electric mixer start beating the frosting.
4. Slowly add a bit more half and half as you beat the frosting.
5. I honestly use about 4T of the half and half and I also beat the frosting for at least 3-4 minutes. I highly recommend using the half and half and NOT subbing milk for it - makes a big difference, imho!
6. If you use salted butter omit the pinch of salt listed in the ingredients.
7. Frosts 1 13x9 or a layer cake if frosted lightly.
