Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
-
Prepare the Icing:
- In a medium-sized bowl, use a hand mixer or a whisk to beat the softened butter until it becomes smooth and creamy.
-
Mix in the Powdered Sugar:
- Gradually add the powdered sugar to the butter, mixing it in well until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a small amount of milk (1 teaspoon at a time) until the desired consistency is reached.
-
Add the Vanilla and Salt:
- Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness and bring out the flavor.
-
Adjust Consistency:
- If you want a thinner icing, add a little more milk (a teaspoon at a time). If you’d like it thicker, add more powdered sugar until the desired consistency is achieved.
-
Serve:
- Drizzle the icing over warm cinnamon rolls, or refrigerate the icing for later use. You can also store the icing in an airtight container for up to a week.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness and flavor by adding more vanilla or cinnamon to the icing if you want a richer taste.
- This icing is versatile and can be used on other baked goods like pastries, scones, or even pancakes.
- If you want a cream cheese-based icing, you can add 2 oz of softened cream cheese to the butter and mix it in.
