Ive lost my trusty recipe book and I need a lovely butter / vienna cream icing for my grandies b'day cake today.Gotta make a ladybig LOLThanks in advance xoxox
Directions:Prep Time: 15 mins Total Time: 15 mins 1 Beat the butter in a small bowl with an electric mixer. You need to beat it for a fair length of time -until it is as white as possible. 2 Gradually beat in half of the sugar, all the milk and then the remaining sugar. 3 If you would like the mixture thicker- add in some extra icing sugar one spoonful at a time until the consistency is right. If the mixture is too thick- gradually (and I mean gradually) add in some more liquid until the consistency is achieved.). 4 VARIATIONS:. 5 To make it chocolate- add in 2 or 3 tablespoons of cocoa with the sugar and a little extra milk if required. 6 Coffee- add 3 teaspoons of instant coffee in 2 tablespoons of hot water(omit the milk). 7 Lemon- substitute lemon juice for the milk. You can also add in some lemon zest. 8 orange- use orange juice in place of the milk. 9 Different colours/flavours- add food colouring and flavours of your choice (in place of some liquid in the recipe). 10 For pink I add some rosewater and a few drops of cochineal.
