Another vanilla frosting — this one a buttercream. It has nice flavor and spreads easily.
6 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 pound confectioners’ sugar
3 to 4 tablespoons milk
Cream butter with vanilla. Add salt. Gradually add confectioners’ sugar, beating thoroughly after each addition. Stir in milk and beat until frosting is the right consistency for spreading.
