Buttercream Frosting

1/3 cup butter, cold and firm
2 cups sifted confectioners sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 or 2 Tablespoons cool milk or cream

Beat butter several minutes with electric mixer until creamy. Add sugar about 1/2 cup at a time, beating well each time. Add vanilla, then milk and beat well again. For firmer-add more sugar, for softer-add more milk.

Store in airtight container in refrigerator and whip up before using again.
While working with frosting, cover the rest in the a bowl with a damp cloth to keep it from getting crusty.
