Prep Time 15

Course Dessert

Equipment

1 Large Mixing Bowl
1 Electric Mixer
1 Cake Decorating Pouch

Ingredients

8 tbsp Unsalted Butter Softened
4 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
3 tbsp Organic Whole Milk
1 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl combine powdered sugar and softened butter until no lumps are visible

You can make homemade powdered sugar by mixing by blending 1 cup of cane sugar with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch in a food processor until fine. This also works with monk fruit granules if you're reducing refined sugar.

Stir in milk and vanilla extract and mix until smooth
Scoop or pour mixture in a pouch for decoration

A plastic sandwhich bag with the corner snipped will also work to decorate your favorite baked goods.

Notes

Once you have your base frosting, a few drops of food-grade essential oil or some fresh zest can take it in a completely different direction. Here are some of our favorite combinations:

Lavendar Frosting with Blueberry Muffins
Orange Frosting with Cranberry scones
Lemon Frosting with Poppyseed or Pumpkin Loaf

These flavors pair beautifully together, and they make the whole house smell incredible while you're baking. Highly recommend making these with coffee on a slow Saturday morning
