Buttercream Frosting

I got this recipe from Eileen Goudge's wonderful book entitled "Something Warm from the Oven". Makes enough to frost two 8-or 9-inch layers.

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Serves: 1

Ingredients

• 1⁄3 cup unsalted butter, very soft
• 4  cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
• 1  teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 -4  tablespoon half-and-half

Directions

1. Cream the softened butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer.
2. Gradually add sifted confectioners'sugar, beating well.
3. Add vanilla and 1 tablespoon of half-and-half, beating until frosting is spreading consistency. If it is too thick, add more half-and-half as you continue beating, until spreading consistency.
