Heavenly Butter Icing
Butter icing is a smooth, creamy frosting perfect for adding a luscious layer of sweetness to cupcakes, cakes, and other desserts.
Ingredients
- 250 g / 8.8 oz Butter
- 1 kg / 8 cups / 35,2 oz Icing Sugar
- 75 ml / ⅓ cup / 2.5 oz milk
- Flavouring to taste but for chocolate approximately 2 Tbsp Cocoa
- Colouring
Instructions
- In a Kitchen Aid stand or hand mixer, beat the butter until it is soft and creamy.
- Sift and add the icing sugar to the butter. Add milk. To prevent the icing from dispersing and creating a mess, cover your mixer with a clean dish cloth while mixing.
- Mix in your chosen flavouring and colouring, then beat for approximately 5 minutes until the mixture is thick and creamy. The icing should be stiff enough that a spoon remains upright when inserted. Adjust the consistence with a small amount of milk or icing if necessary.
