How Do You Make Homemade Frosting In 5 Minutes?
Beat the softened butter in a medium-size mixing bowl with an electric mixer or wooden spoon until fluffy. Add the powdered sugar gradually. Mixture will appear dry and crumbly. Gradually stir in the half-and-half or milk until you reach your desired consistency. If the frosting is too runny, add more powdered sugar. If it is too stiff, add additional milk. Mix in vanilla and pinch of salt. Taste and add more if desired. For chocolate frosting, add melted cooled chocolate. Adjust consistency if desired.
