A delightful buttercream filling recipe perfect for cakes and pastries, offering a smooth and creamy texture.
Place the butter in a mixing bowl and beat it with a hand mixer until it becomes soft and creamy.
Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Gradually add the powdered sugar to the butter, beating continuously until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
Add the sugar in small increments to avoid a powdery mess and to ensure even mixing.
Add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, and continue beating until the buttercream reaches your desired consistency.
Adjust the amount of milk based on how thick or thin you want the buttercream.
Use the buttercream immediately as a filling or frosting, or store it for later use.
If storing, cover the buttercream with plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out.
