To make Paula Deen’s buttercream frosting, start by creaming 1 cup of softened unsalted butter in a mixing bowl. Add 1 pound of confectioners’ sugar, 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup of milk. Use a handheld mixer to beat everything together until the frosting is smooth and creamy. If the frosting is too thick, add more milk, one tablespoon at a time. If it’s too thin, add more confectioners’ sugar until it reaches the desired consistency. Spread it on cakes, cupcakes, and cookies, or pipe it onto your desserts using a piping bag.
