Super Fluffy Small Batch Vanilla Buttercream
Knowing how to make a small batch of vanilla buttercream is such a game changer! If you need just a bit of frosting for a few cupcakes or to sandwich in-between cookies, this recipe is my absolute favorite. With just a few basic ingredients, you'll have a super flavorful, silky, and buttery frosting in about 10 minutes. It's so good!
Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Add the unsalted butter, 60 grams (½ cup) of the powdered sugar, and a pinch of Kosher salt to a medium mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with a whip attachment, beat the butter and powdered sugar until the mixture is thick and creamy. It may be a little crumbly at first, but if you keep mixing, it'll eventually come together!
- Step 2
Add the remaining 60 grams (½ cup) of powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste or extract, and milk to the frosting. Beat until everything is well-combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl 2-3 times in-between.
- Step 3
Turn the mixer to medium-high and beat the buttercream for another 2-3 minutes, until the frosting is very silky, fluffy, and lightened in color. Store in an airtight container for later or use it on cupcakes, cookies, cake, etc.
