  • Then beat it with an electric whisk until combined. Do not over beat.
  • Now add another 1/2 cup of icing sugar and again mi with a spoon before beating it.
  • When all the icing sugar is used up, the icing will be very stiff.
  • Now add 1 tsp of milk and beat.
  • Add another spoon if you find it very stiff.
  • Once you reach the correct consistency, beat the butter cream for another minute.

Notes

P.S:
Do not over beat the butter cream as this will incorporate air into the cream and while frosting the surface will not be smooth.
