I won't give a rating since I only used this recipe for the icing. This tasted really amazing. However, not sure if I did something wrong or if more/different instruction is needed. All was going well until I started adding water. Then the butter started separating and it wouldn't combine properly again until partly solidified in the fridge. Maybe milk would have been better, with its fat base? Or maybe the water needs to be added slowly in droplets?
