How To Make Buttercream Frosting Recipe?

1. Whip the Butter: Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, whip the butter and salt for about 1 minute. You can use a hand mixer if preferred.
2. Sift in Sugar: Sift the confectioner’s sugar in batches, adding one at a time while mixing on low. Scrape down the sides of the bowl after each addition and continue the process.
3. Add Cream and Vanilla: Once all the sugar is incorporated, add 1 tbsp of heavy cream while mixing on low speed, followed by the vanilla extract.
4. Beat to Perfection: Continue to beat the mixture until it becomes smooth and fluffy. For a thinner consistency, add more cream or milk as desired.

Recipe Tips:

• Use soft butter: Make sure the butter is soft and at room temperature so it mixes smoothly.
• Sift the sugar: Sifting the sugar helps avoid lumps and keeps your frosting smooth.
• Add cream little by little: Start with a small amount of cream and add more only if necessary. This keeps the frosting from getting too thin.
• Beat for fluffiness: Beat the frosting well on high speed to make it light and fluffy.
• Taste and adjust: Always taste your frosting and add more vanilla or salt if needed to balance the flavor.

How To Store Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the frosting cool to room temperature before storing it in an airtight container. You can keep it in the fridge for up to a week.
• Freeze: You can freeze the frosting for up to 3 months. Store it in an airtight container or bag.
