American Vanilla Buttercream

Ingredients:

• 220 g of butter at room temperature
• 4 cups powdered sugar (450g package)
• A pinch of fine salt
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1-2 tablespoons of milk

Preparation:

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter, powdered sugar, and salt (or in a large bowl if using a hand mixer). Beat on low speed until combined.
2. Add vanilla, increase speed to medium-high, and mix until smooth. If desired, you can make the consistency thinner by adding milk. Use the cream immediately or store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Before using, bring to room temperature and mix at medium-high speed until smooth..
