    RECIPE
    Enough for 12 Cupcakes
    250g / 1 Cup Butter (salted or unsalted)
    375g 3 Cups Icing Sugar | Powdered Sugar | Confectioners Sugar
    30ml / 2 Tablespoons Milk
    Add room temperature butter to a bowl. Beat the butter for 5 minutes until it has become light and airy, doubled in size and lost most of it's colour. Start adding the icing sugar half a cup at a time, beating for about a minute in between each addition. Use the milk to thin out the consistency of the icing, add it a teaspoon at a time. This is also the time to add any flavourings or colourings that you would like. This icing can last in the fridge for a few weeks or the freezer for 3 months. When you are ready to use just let it get back up to room temperature.

    Something else: thanks for telling your recipes aloud as well as adding subtitles. This makes this video accessible both to visually disabled and hearing-impaired persons. Some cooks cook silently and just add subtitles thus leaving visually disabled users of youtube out. Maybe some people think that visually disabled persons don't cook but they do, of course, and enjoy it as much as anyone else. Let us make all information available and accessible for them too.

      Keep in mind that RUclips is a VISUAL platform. You're not here to listen to a pod cast or to music, you're here to visually experience things. Cooking is a visual experience. And cooking is definitely possible for visually impaired/disabled people, watching a video isn't and shouldn't be required to be. It's a video. That'd be like saying "this movie I bought sucks because I can't see the action".

    This is a basic Buttercream recipe. Buttercream can be flavoured with lemon juice, vanilla extract, almond essence, or anything else you can think of. I have flavoured this buttercream with a teaspoon of vanilla extract 😊

    Ingredients
    1 Cup | 250g Butter3 Cups | 375g Powdered Sugar1 | 5ml Teaspoon Vanilla2 | 30ml Tablespoons Milk
    Instructions
    Add the butter to a mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer and beat for 5 minutes until light, pale and doubled in volume.Gradually add the sugar ½ cup at a time beating well in between each addition.Once all of the sugar has been incorporated add the vanilla and milk (see note) and beat until combined.
    Notes
    Make sure the butter is at room temperature before making this buttercream. Remove it from the fridge 1-2 hours before.
    Only add the milk gradually if you would like to thin out the buttercream.
    Optionally add coloring and/or other flavorings at the same time as you add the vanilla and milk.

      @johnland8372 5 лет назад +3

      @@gobblegamerxxx110 it depends on how many days you put it in for. Because butter cream can go out of date like milk. And putting in the freazer would mean that if you ever wanted yo use the butter cream, you'd have to heat it back to room temperature again before spreading it. Say in other words just do your planning more thoroughly. Cool your muffins first and when they are done then make the butter cream. And if you have any left over. Just seal it in an air tight container.
