Ingredients
2 cups | (500 ml) | butter |
8 cups | (1 kg) | icing sugar |
2 tsp | (10 ml) | vanilla (or flavouring of your choice) |
2-4 tbsp | (30-60 ml) | 10% cream (or half and half) |
Directions
- Using a stand mixer, or hand mixer, cream the butter.
- With the mixer on its lowest speed, slowly add the icing sugar, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons of cream. Gradually add more cream until you get a consistency that is smooth and spreadable. If the icing is too thick, beat in more cream a few drops at a time. If the icing becomes too thin, add more icing sugar.
