C and H vanilla buttercream frosting recipe?

Classic Vanilla Buttercream Frosting (C&H)

This recipe uses C&H granulated sugar, which is a common brand in the US, but you can substitute with any other granulated sugar.

Ingredients:

* 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

* 3 cups C&H granulated sugar

* 6 large egg yolks

* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

* 1/4 cup milk

* Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, beat softened butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Gradually add sugar, beating until well combined and light and fluffy.

2. Add yolks: Add egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition.

3. Incorporate flavoring and milk: Add vanilla extract and milk, beating until smooth. Add salt and beat again briefly to combine.

4. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until firm enough to spread.

5. Use: Use immediately for frosting cakes or cupcakes.

Tips:

* Soften butter properly: Butter needs to be softened to room temperature for the best results. Don't over-soften, or it'll be too soft to whip.

* Whisk yolks before adding: This helps prevent curdling.

* Chill properly: Chilling firms up the frosting, making it easier to spread and prevent it from melting quickly.

* Adjust sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet frosting, reduce sugar by 1/4 cup.

* Flavor variations: Add other extracts like almond, lemon, or coffee.

Enjoy your delicious, classic vanilla buttercream frosting!
