How to Make Really Really Good And Easy Buttercream Frosting
- Add softened butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Mix on low speed until just combined, about 1 minute.
- Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a spatula.
- Increase speed to medium-low and beat for another minute.
- Increase speed to medium-high and beat for another minute.
- Gradually add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating on low speed until just incorporated after each addition.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Increase speed to medium and beat for about 1 minute.
- Check the consistency. If your spatula doesn't glide through easily, add 1 tablespoon of corn syrup and beat on medium speed for 30 seconds. Repeat, adding another tablespoon of corn syrup as needed, until the frosting is smooth and spreadable.
- Once the frosting is spreadable, increase mixer speed to medium-high and beat for 1 minute to achieve a light and fluffy texture.
