Ingredients

Method

  • Place the butter into the bowl of a stand mixer and mix on medium-high speed for 5 minutes. Butter will lighten in colour
  • Stop the mixer and add all the sugar and vanilla. Beat on low speed until combined
  • Increase speed to high and beat for 5-8 minutes or until fluffy
  • Add milk a teaspoon at a time until it reaches your desired consistency

Tips & Hints:

  • Butter must be softened before beating. Do not melt.
  • Butter should be well beaten and pale in colour before adding icing sugar mixture.
  • If making ahead, store buttercream well covered in a cool place for up to 1 week. Before using, beat to a smooth consistency adding extra milk as needed.
  • If buttercream becomes cold and hard to spread, beat in 1 to 2 teaspoons of warm milk to return mixture to a creamy, spreadable consistency.
