SWEET MILK AND SUGAR ICING (FROSTING)



Sweet Milk and Sugar Icing (Frosting) image

If you like frosting so sweet that it will gag you, then give this one a try. It uses 4 ingredients always on hand. The sweet milk in the title just lets you know it doesn't use buttermilk or sour milk. My family likes this on yellow cake or white cake, and to sandwich together teacakes. A word of advice...don't try to make this frosting if it is raining...it will NEVER get hard. And make sure to boil it the full 90 seconds, so that the icing isn't grainy.

Tips:

  • Use unsalted butter: Salted butter can make your icing too salty, so it's best to use unsalted butter and add salt to taste, if desired.
  • Bring the butter and milk to room temperature before starting: This will help the ingredients blend together smoothly and create a creamy icing.
  • Gradually add the powdered sugar: Adding the powdered sugar all at once can make the icing too thick and difficult to spread. Instead, add it gradually until you reach the desired consistency.
  • Use a wire whisk to beat the icing: A wire whisk will help to incorporate air into the icing and make it light and fluffy.
  • Add flavorings, if desired: You can add a variety of flavorings to your icing, such as vanilla extract, almond extract, or cocoa powder. Just be sure to add them to taste.

Sweet milk and sugar icing is a simple and delicious way to add a touch of sweetness to your favorite baked goods. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
