Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I first scoop the softened butter into my mixing bowl. This is essential because it needs to be at room temperature for easy blending. I then add in the powdered sugar, which I sift beforehand to avoid any lumps. With my electric mixer on low, I blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. At this stage, the buttery scent begins to waft through the kitchen, and I’m already feeling excited about how divine the icing will be! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
