THE BEST PEPPERMINT BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Our latest flavor of Buttercream frosting is a gigantic hit … it definitely deserves the title The Best Peppermint Buttercream Frosting.  We think it tastes just like a butter mint candy – sweet, creamy, buttery with just the right amount of peppermint flavoring.  This one is a keeper!

I use my food scale to measure 1 pound of Powdered Sugar.  (If you don’t have a food scale the equivalent would be 4 cups.)  You can sift the powdered sugar if it is really lumpy.  I do not always do this.  Instead I will mix the powdered sugar on low for 30 seconds to break up any large lumps.

Add 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter.  I only ever use real butter, but you can use whatever you have on hand.  Although I think margarine changes the taste, your buttercream frosting made with margarine will still be better than canned frosting.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 pound (4 cups) of Powdered Sugar
• 1 cup Butter (We use Salted Sweet Cream Butter)
• 1 Tablespoon Milk
• 1 1/4 teaspoon of Peppermint Extract
• Wilton Color Right Food Coloring – Red
• Decorating Bags
• Wilton 2D Decorating Tip
• Mixer

DIRECTIONS:

1. Add powdered sugar to mixing bowl.
2. Add softened sticks of butter
3. Add 1 tbsp of milk.
4. Beat on low until powdered sugar is incorporated. Then move mixer up to medium-high speed. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl often. When completely mixed the frosting may appear dry.
5. Add more milk, a little bit at a time until frosting is the proper consistency.
6. Add Peppermint Extract
