Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened

- 1 to 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- In medium bowl, mix powdered sugar and butter with spoon or electric mixer on low speed. Stir in vanilla and 1 tablespoon of the milk.
- Gradually beat in just enough remaining milk to make frosting smooth and spreadable. If frosting is too thick, beat in more milk, a few drops at a time.
