Vienna Cream Frosting (Better Than Cream!)

1. 1

   Beat the butter in a small bowl with an electric mixer. You need to beat it for a fair length of time -until it is as white as possible.

2. 2

   Gradually beat in half of the sugar, all the milk and then the remaining sugar.

3. 3

   If you would like the mixture thicker- add in some extra icing sugar one spoonful at a time until the consistency is right. If the mixture is too thick- gradually (and I mean gradually) add in some more liquid until the consistency is achieved.).
