Buttercream Frosting

Time: 15 minutes prep
Servings: 4 cups
 

Directions

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, briefly beat the egg yolks. Add in the butter and beat on medium speed until combined.
  2. On low, beat in about 1 cup at a time of the confectioners' sugar. After each addition, if it looks a little dry, add about a tablespoon of creamer. Don't forget to add the vanilla.
  3. Once all of the confectioners' sugar has been added, increase the speed to high and beat for about 3 to 4 minutes. If the consistency is not where you'd like it to be, you can always add more confectioners' sugar.
