Ingredients:
250g unsalted butter (room temperature)
500g icing sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp milk


Method:
Step 1: Firstly, cut the butter into cubes and beat with a mixer until soft.

Step 2: Next, add the icing sugar and beat until fully combined. A little tip here, it is best to add in the icing sugar gradually as you are mixing it. I do this by adding it in a spoonful at a time.

Step 3: Add the vanilla extra and mix once again until fully combined and then add in your tbsp milk and again whisk.

Step 4: Always, make sure to check the consistency of the icing, it should have a spreadable texture so similar to how butter can spread easily onto your bread. That is what you are looking for.

Tips: Vanilla buttercream can work for cupcakes, biscuits, cakes, or just for you to eat from a spoon!
