Butter frosting is a classic and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts. It is easy to make and only requires a few simple ingredients. The main ingredient in butter frosting is, of course, butter. The type of butter you use will affect the flavor and texture of the frosting. Unsalted butter is the best choice because it allows you to control the amount of salt in the frosting. In addition to butter, you will need powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make butter frosting. The amount of milk you add will determine the consistency of the frosting. If you want a thicker frosting, use less milk. If you want a thinner frosting, use more milk.

Steps:
- Place the butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the butter is a nice tan color. If it gets dark brown or black you have allowed it to burn too long. When butter has been "burned" remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Slowly mix in confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Beat on high speed of an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the milk a tablespoon at a time until desired spreading consistency is achieved. Use frosting immediately, as this frosting will set up quickly.

Tips:
- Use unsalted butter for the best flavor and to prevent the frosting from being too salty.
- Make sure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before you start making the frosting. This will help them mix together smoothly and prevent the frosting from being lumpy.
- If you are using a stand mixer, beat the butter and cream cheese on medium speed for 2-3 minutes, or until light and fluffy. If you are using a hand mixer, beat the butter and cream cheese on high speed for 3-4 minutes, or until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, and beat on low speed until well combined. If the frosting is too thick, add a little bit of milk or cream until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Add flavorings, such as vanilla extract, almond extract, or cocoa powder, to taste.
- Use the frosting immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Butter frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect batch of butter frosting every time.
