    This basic buttery frosting has unmatchable homemade taste. With a few simple variations, you can come up with different colors and flavors—from orange, lemon and mint to chocolate and peanut butter. —Diana Wilson, Denver, Colorado

    Ingredients:
    • 1 cup butter, softened
    • 8 cups confectioners' sugar
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    • 1/2 to 3/4 cup milk

    Directions:
    1. In a bowl, cream butter. Beat in sugar and vanilla. Add milk until frosting reaches desired consistency.

    For Chocolate Frosting: Substitute 1/2 cup baking cocoa for 1/2 cup of the confectioners' sugar.

    For Peanut Butter Frosting: Substitute peanut butter for butter.

    For Lemon-or Orange-Flavored Frosting: Substitute lemon or orange juice for milk and add 1 teaspoon grated lemon or orange peel.

    For Almond-or Peppermint-Flavored Frosting: Substitute almond or peppermint extract for the vanilla.

    Liquid or paste food coloring may be added to match flavoring (green for mint, for example) or for contrast when decorating.
