Ingredients
- 1 Cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 4 Cups powdered sugar, sifted for a smooth texture
- 1/4 Cups milk (whole milk recommended for richness)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract for a classic flavor profile
- Pinch of salt to enhance the sweetness
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter until light and airy. This step incorporates air, crucial for a fluffy texture.
- Gradually incorporate the sifted powdered sugar, one cup at a time, ensuring thorough mixing after each addition. This prevents a dense or gritty consistency.
- Alternate adding the milk with the powdered sugar, starting and ending with the sugar. The milk helps to create a smooth and spreadable consistency.
- Introduce the pure vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. The vanilla imparts a classic flavor, while the salt subtly elevates the sweetness.
- Continue beating the mixture until it achieves a homogenous, light, and fluffy texture. The frosting should be easily spreadable but hold its shape.
