Ingredients
 
 

  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 2 teaspoons real vanilla extract
  • 1 pound powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk or more as needed

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl or stand mixer, measure out the butter, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Start to stir to combine.
  • With the mixer on, stream in one tablespoon of milk at a time until the frosting starts to come together and it looks creamy.
  • Scrape the sides of the bowl and mix again, if it still hasn't come together by now, continue to add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. The frosting should be thick enough to hold its shape but light enough that you can move a rubber spatula through it with ease.
  • Use as desired!
