Cut the butter (250g) into cubes (about 1″) and beat in an electic mixer until soft.
Add the icing sugar (500g) and beat until fully combined – I prefer to add the sugar a couple of spoonfuls at a time as this minimises the amount of sugar that flies out all over the kitchen! You’ll find that at first it’ll start to look lumpy but keep persevering and it’ll smooth out.
Add the vanilla extract (½ tsp) and mix until fully combined.
(See note about about the required consistency) Take a look at the consistency of the icing, is it spreadable? If not add ½ tsp milk and mix until fully combined. Check the consistency again and repeat until it is just spreadable.
Once you’ve got the icing to the right consistency – have fun piping, spreading, or just licking if off the spoon!
