This buttercream frosting recipe is perfect for decorating cakes and cookies, offering a smooth texture and delightful vanilla flavor.
In a mixing bowl, combine the butter and shortening.
Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Add the salt and vanilla extract to the mixture and blend well.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
Gradually add the confectioners' sugar, one cup at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
Mix on low speed initially to prevent sugar from puffing out of the bowl.
Add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the desired consistency is achieved.
For a stiffer frosting, use less milk; for a softer frosting, add a bit more.
Use the frosting immediately for decorating or store it as needed.
If storing, cover tightly to prevent drying out.
