Ingredients

  • butter
  • icing sugar
  • milk

Method

Put the butter into the mixing bowl of an electric mixer and blend on high speed until mixed. It's best to use butter at room temperature.

Pour in half of the icing sugar and blend until fully incorporated. Add the other half of the icing sugar and blend. Increase the mixing speed as the sugar and butter incorporate.

Add milk and blend.

Use a spatula to remove any excess from the sides of the bowl and ensure the icing mixes well.
