Recipe Introduction


If the frosting gets too soft while you ice the cupcakes, put the frosting back in the fridge for about 10 minutes.





List of Ingredients



• 3/4 pound unsalted butter (3 sticks), at room temperature
  
• 3 cups confectioners' sugar
  
• 2 tablespoons milk
  
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  
• 1/8 teaspoon table salt
  






Instructions



1. Using electric mixer, beat butter in large bowl until fluffy, about 30 seconds. With mixer on low speed, add sugar, 1 cup at a time, and mix to combine. Increase speed to high and beat until pale and fluffy, about 1 minute.
   
2. Reduce speed to medium-low and add milk, vanilla, and salt. Increase speed to high and beat until fluffy, 30 more seconds.
