Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter softened
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon milk
Instructions

Notes
Powdered sugar: Powdered sugar is also called icing sugar or confectioners' sugar.
Storage: This frosting is best used when you make it. If you need to prepare it ahead, cover it tightly and refrigerate it for up to four days. Let it soften at room temperature, then stir until smooth before frosting the cupcakes.
