VANILLA BUTTER FROSTING
Alot of recipes for a basic butter frosting usually use way too much powdered sugar, are overlly sweet, and have no flavor. So I decided make up my own recipe for perfectly sweet vanilla butter frosting. I use less powdered sugar so you can taste the delicious butter and vanilla flavors instead of just powdered sugar. I like to use this frosting to frost cupcakes with.

SILKY VANILLA BUTTER FROSTING
This is not your usual butter-cream made with powdered sugar. Butter is beaten into a flour-thickened base to make an exquisitely light and creamy frosting. Not overly sweet like those made with powdered sugar, but sweet enough to be the perfect compliment for a cake. Make sure the base is completely cooled before beating in the butter. I added in 15 minutes cooling time, but it will vary depending on conditions.

Steps:
- In 2-quart saucepan, thoroughly combine sugar and flour.
- With wire whisk, gradually stir in milk until smooth.
- Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until mixture has thickened and boils.
- Reduce heat to low; cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and cool completely.
- In medium bowl, with mixer at medium speed, beat butter until light and fluffy.
- Gradually beat in milk mixture; beat in vanilla.
Tips:
- Use real butter: This will give your frosting a rich, creamy flavor. Make sure the butter is at room temperature before you start mixing it, so it will be easier to combine with the other ingredients.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the frosting, making it smooth and spreadable. If your frosting is too thick, you can add a little bit of milk or cream to thin it out.
- Add the vanilla extract last: This will help to preserve its flavor. If you add it too early, it will cook off and lose its flavor.
- Don't overbeat the frosting: Otherwise, it will become grainy. Beat it just until it is smooth and creamy.
- Use the frosting immediately or store it in the refrigerator: If you are not going to use the frosting right away, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Bring it to room temperature before using.
Conclusion:
Vanilla buttercream frosting is a classic frosting that is perfect for cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Add a little bit of food coloring to make it any color you want, or add a different flavor extract to change the flavor. Get creative and have fun with it!
