Day 20- Icing!
On the tails of yesterday's brownie post, here's my recipe for the most delicious homemade buttercream icing. Melt a stick of real butter in the microwave in a big Pyrex measuring cup. Don't try to use margarine to save calories, that's bulls*t; this is icing, people, it's supposed to taste good. When it's melted, add a tsp of vanilla extract. Then add a cup of powdered sugar and stir. Then add another cup of powdered sugar and stir. Then add a small splash of milk to make it creamy. If you want a thicker consistency, add more powdered sugar. You can also add food coloring, of course. Refridgerate any leftovers but note that it will firm up a lot when cold. You can always zap it in the microwave for a few seconds if you need it thinner after. Sugar rush!!
