American basic buttercream frosting







Basic Buttercream Frosting

Ingredients:
1 stick softened Butter (about 225-250g)
2 cups of powdered sugar (sifted)
2 tablespoon of milk (if necessary)
1 teaspoon vanilla eccense

Directions:
1. Cream the butter well with an electric hand mixer on low speed till light and fluffy then add the sifted powdered sugar into the butter bit by bit (there will be flying powdered sugar if added too much at a time). Add vanilla eccense. Increase speed gradually.
2. Beat the mixture till its smooth and spreadable consistency (add milk if mixture is too dry. do not add any milk if the mixture is already smooth and spreadable. add milk tablespoon by tablespoon depending on your mixture's consistency). Might takes about 15mins

** mummy didnt add any milk for the buttercream frosting as her frosting is already smooth and spreadable before milk is being added.

Results: its very beautiful BUT its grainy and also TOO sweet...but then its really easy to make though hehe.
