How do I make buttercream icing?

You can follow this recipe I used from Betty Crocker. The total time needed is estimated at about 10 minutes. It also has a 4.5/5 star rating!

First, you’ll need these ingredients:

• 3 cups powdered sugar
• ⅓ cup butter or margarine, softened
• 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
• 1 to 2 tablespoons milk

Directions:

• 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. If frosting becomes too thin, beat in a small amount of powdered sugar. This frost’s 13×9-inch cake generously, or fills and frosts an 8- or 9-inch two-layer cake.
