Best Fluffy Vanilla Buttercream
Delicious just as it is but endlessly adaptable, this is a basic american buttercream with a very smooth, light texture and just the right balance of butttery and sweet. You can change it up by adding color, switching extracts or adding espresso or fruit powders. Holds its shape nicely for decorating.

Instructions
  1. Cream the butter on medium speed until it’s creamy, about a minute.
  2. Add the the rest of the ingredients beat slowly until combined and then beat the heck out of it for 4-6 minutes until it’s fluffy and smooth. You may want to scrape the bowl down halfway through.
  3. Scoop into a ziplock, either with a tip or with the corner of the bag snipped, and get piping.
  4. This will keep for about a week in the fridge and for about three months in the freezer. Just let it come to room temperature and fluff it up again in your mixer before you use it.
