Another vanilla frosting -- this one a buttercream. It has nice flavor and spreads easily.

Yield: Makes enough for two 9-inch layers or 3 dozen cupcakes.

  • 6 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pound confectioners' sugar
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons milk

Cream butter with vanilla. Add salt. Gradually add confectioners' sugar, beating thoroughly after each addition. Stir in milk and beat until frosting is the right consistency for spreading.
