buttercream icing

ingredients

1/2 stick butter

4-6 tbsp. powdered sugar

1 tsp. milk

directions

beat the ingredients with a mixer. the ingredient measurements up there are a little bogus. i started with 2 heaping tablespoons with a 1/2 stick butter and a little bit of milk, but i keep adding stuff until i get it to where i want it.
