Butter Frosting

Ingredients

• 6 tbsp butter
• 4 1/2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar (approximate)
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp almond extract
• Food coloring (optional)

Directions

1. In a bowl beat butter or margarine until fluffy.
2. Gradually add 2 cups of the sugar, beating well.
3. Beat in the milk, vanilla, and almond
4. Alternate adding sugar and beating until a good spreading consistency is reached.
5. Tint with food coloring if desired.

Notes

Be careful adding sugar so that the ratio of sugar = milk = butter doesn't get too out of whack.
