Regular White Icing (Add Butter to Make Buttercream Icing)
Description: I love this icing with the White Cake recipe that I posted. This is not a thick icing like those you buy. This also came from my sister-in-law. We use this for lots of different baked goods that require icing.
Ingredients:
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon milk, add more to desired consistancy
1 dash salt (may substitute or omit)
1/4 cup butter (for the Buttercream Icing you would add the butter to the recipe)
Steps:
Mix powdered sugar and vanilla.
Add milk teaspoon by teaspoon until desired consistency.
Dash salt.
Note: Do NOT pour in the milk.
Trust me.
Do this as instructed, or you will have to keep adding sugar until you get a good consistency, and then you will end up with enough icing to cover surplus amout of cakes!
(If you are icing everything in your home, then go right ahead).
