Recipe View 3 mins Continue adding the remaining sugar, alternating with the milk, a little at a time. Beat after each addition until the frosting reaches your desired consistency for spreading. If the frosting is too thick, add a touch more milk; if it's too thin, add a bit more confectioners' sugar. (3 minutes)

For the best results, ensure your butter is properly softened but not melted. It should be pliable and yield easily to pressure.
Sifting the confectioners' sugar is crucial for a smooth, lump-free frosting.
If you want to adjust the flavor, try adding a pinch of lemon zest, a tablespoon of cocoa powder, or a dash of your favorite liqueur.
This frosting can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Let it come to room temperature and re-whip before using.
