How To Make Butter Frosting

Making butter frosting can be fast and easy. The process usually takes about twenty minutes, but that differs based on your personal tinting, texturing, and/or flavoring. But for now, let’s start with the basic frosting. First, you need to gather your needed ingredients. You will need: one-third of a cup of butter or margarine, four-and-a-half cups of sifted powdered sugar, one-fourth of a cup of milk, and one-and-a-half teaspoons of vanilla. Later, you can add more milk, or some food coloring, as needed. Now, on to the first part of our two-step process. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter until it is fluffy. At a gradual pace, add two cups of the powdered sugar and beat well. Slowly beat in the ¼ cup of milk and the vanilla. Then, for the second half of our cooking adventure, slowly beat in the remaining powdered sugar. If you need to, you can add more milk to get it to the right consistency. You can also add food coloring to tint it. After you make your changes, it is ready to spread. You can use this recipe on your cakes, cookies, etc. If desired, you can also change the flavor to chocolate, peanut butter, or just mess around until you find a combination you like (which is not recommended). For the chocolate butter frosting, you prepare the recipe in the same manner, except you add ½ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder to the butter. You must also reduce the powdered sugar to 4 cups. Now, for the peanut butter frosting, you substitute creamy peanut butter in for the butter/margarine.
