This delicious and super easy to make Homemade Buttercream Frosting Recipe is the perfect topping for any cake, fruit or dessert. This recipe is simple to make and only has three ingredients! Which you may have in your kitchen right now. For myself, these ingredients are staples in my kitchen and pantry. It would be very rare if I did not have margarine, milk or powdered sugar. Yes those are the ingredients you need. See I told you it would be something you have in your kitchen.

All you need to do in making this creamy, sweet frosting is mix everything together. Start by creaming the butter with a mixer. Next add in the powdered sugar and milk in small amounts, until you reach the consistency you want. If you refrigerate the frosting it will help it to firm up. Making it a little easier to spread. Some people like to add vanilla extract to the frosting to give it more sweetness. Just add a teaspoon or two, it is naturally sweet on it’s own. This Homemade Butter Frosting Recipe is great on cinnamon rolls too. It will melt perfectly on them right out of the oven.
