Recipe
2 cups unsalted butter (1 pound or 452 g)
8 cups powdered sugar (2 pounds or 907 g)
1-2 teaspoons vanilla (5-10 g)
3-6 Tablespoons heavy whipping cream (45-90 g)
Pinch of salt (enhances the flavor!)
Instructions
With a stand mixer or hand mixer your gonna need this not unless you want your arm to fall off 😬
Mix softened butter until it’s nice and fluffy this takes about a min or two.
Next add your powered sugar on low SPEED ! A little at a time I always make a mess 😒
Then add a pinch 🤏🏼 of salt to brighten the flavors.
Once its been mixing for a few minutes add in 3-6 tbs of heavy whipping cream, one at a time !
Mix again for a min or two
Then the final step add the vanilla
And mix again for a min
Your looking for soft peaks
If it’s to runny add a little powdered sugar at a time to achieve desired consistency, if it’s to stiff add a bit more heavy cream.
And there you have it a simple fool proof buttercream !
