Butter cream frosting:

unsalted butter -2 sticks or 1cup

powdered sugar -3cups 

salt -a pinch

vanilla extract -1/2 teaspoon 

milk -4 tablespoons

Method:

On a medium speed beat butter for a few minutes. Add powdered sugar ,beat until the sugar has been incorporated with the butter. Add vanilla extract, salt, and 2 tablespoons of milk and beat for 3 minutes. If your frosting needs a more stiff consistency, add more sugar. If your frosting needs to be thinned out, add milk 1 tablespoons at a time till the required consistency.
