Servings: about 1 cup
Ingredients:
1/2 c. butter, soft (you can get by with less)
about 2-3 c confectioner's sugar
about 2-3 T. milk
1 t. vanilla
Procedure:
Cream the soft butter. Add about a cup of confectioner's sugar and a tablespoon of milk and mix until smooth. If it is too dry, add milk a few drops at a time until it becomes easy to mix. Add the vanilla. Continue gradually adding sugar and milk until you have enough frosting and a good spreading consistency. The exact proportions are not important.
