I use Recipe #95416 when I'm decorating a cake but we like this version on brownies, cookies or undecorated cakes. I cut the recipe in half for brownies. Goes really well on Recipe #2496. Freezes well also. (If you have leftovers, put it between graham cracker for a delicious snack or dessert. My kids love it that way!)

Ingredients

  • real butter, no substitute1 cup
  • clear vanilla extract1 1⁄2 teaspoons
  • salt (optional)1 pinch
  • confectioners' sugar5 cups
  • milk2 -3 tablespoons

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Cream butter and then add vanilla and optional salt. (To cut the sweetness I usually sprinkle some salt in the vanilla, so it will dissolve.).

  2. 2

    Add sugar a cup at a time beating on medium speed. Add milk 1 Tbls. at a time and beat on high until completely blended and desired consistency.
