Simple Buttercream Frosting

This recipe I use most of the time when I need a simple and quick buttercream frosting. It takes about 5 minutes to make and always turns out great. It is a bit on the sweeter side, since it calls for one pound of sugar to one stick of butter, but if you don't want it super sweet, just cut down on the sugar a bit. This recipe comes from the side of the Domino's Confectioners' Sugar box :)

Simple Buttercream Frosting

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1lb confectioners' sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

3-4 Tbsp milk

In a large bowl, with mixer at low speed, combine butter, confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla. (I usually cream the butter a bit first, then slowly add the sugar, milk, and vanilla). Beat at medium speed for 1-2 minutes until creamy. If desired, add more milk until frosting is spreading consistency. (I never really need to add more milk unless you want a thinner icing).
