Steps:
- With an electric mixer, beat butter on medium-high speed until pale and creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Reduce speed to medium. Add the confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down sides of bowl as needed; after every two additions, raise speed to high and beat 10 seconds to aerate frosting, then return to medium-high. This process should take about 5 minutes. Frosting will be very pale and fluffy.
- Add vanilla, and beat until frosting is smooth. If not using immediately, frosting can be refrigerated up to 10 days in an airtight container. Before using, bring to room temperature, and beat on low speed until smooth again, about 5 minutes.
Tips:
- Ensure that your butter is at комнатной температуре before beginning. This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients and create a light and fluffy frosting.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar to the butter mixture. Adding it all at once can make the frosting too thick and grainy.
- Beat the frosting for at least 3 minutes, or until it is light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the frosting, making it light and creamy.
- If you want a stiffer frosting, add more powdered sugar. If you want a looser frosting, add more milk or cream.
- Flavor the frosting with vanilla extract, almond extract, or other flavorings of your choice.
- Use the frosting to frost cakes, cupcakes, or other desserts.
Conclusion:
Fluffy vanilla buttercream frosting is a classic frosting that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of your time, you can create a delicious frosting that will make your desserts look and taste amazing.
