Basic Buttercream

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 1/2 to 4 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 to 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
1/2 tsp salt

Put butter in a mixer and turn on low speed. Add vanilla, and once it’s blended, slowly begin to add the powdered sugar. Once you’ve added half the sugar, add the heavy cream or milk. Add salt, then the remaining powdered sugar, and mix until light and fluffy!
