Here step by step to make buttercream frosting

1. You’ll start out with two sticks of unsalted butter softened to room temperature.  
2. I use unsalted butter in all of my recipes because the amount of salt in salted butter can vary quite a bit between different brands.  By using unsalted butter, you control the amount of salt in your recipe.
3. You’ll beat the butter with a mixer for about 1 minute, just until it’s nice and smooth.
4. Next, you’ll mix in your powdered sugar (also known as confectioners sugar or icing sugar).  I typically only use about 3 cups of powdered sugar for a batch of this frosting. 
5. Some recipes call for quite a bit more powdered sugar, but I’ve found that 3 cups is all you really need.  It’s best to sift the powdered sugar beforehand, but if I’m being honest I usually skip the extra step.
