Equipment

Kitchenaid Mixer (A hand mixer will also work)

Ingredients

2 cups room temp butter (do not use margarine!)
2 pounds powdered sugar
4 tbl milk (full fat is best, but any will do!)
2 tsp vanilla

Instructions

Beat the butter in a stand mixer for 1-2 minutes.
Add remaining ingredients and mix until smooth and creamy, around 5 minutes.
If it seems too thick, you can add a small amount of milk and mix again.

Notes

For chocolate buttercream, add 1/2 cup cocoa powder and 1 cup melted semi sweet chocolate chips and mix well. Add more cocoa powder or chocolate chips as desired.
