Ingredients
- 1 stick unsalted butter (softened)
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 4 tablespoons apple cider
Directions
| Step 1 | |
|
It all begins with one creamy and dreamy stick of softened butter.  | |
| Step 2 | |
|
Beat the heck out of it for as long as it takes to get it fluffy.  | |
| Step 3 | |
|
My estimate would be a couple of minutes. Next, dump in about half of the powdered sugar, and beat on medium low.  | |
| Step 4 | |
|
Scrape down the sides and add in the rest of the sugar. Beat on medium low... again. Scrape down the bowl... again.  | |
| Step 5 | |
|
You should end up with buttery little sugar pearls like these. Believe it or not... all you need now, to turn these buttery balls into a luscious buttercream, is just 4Tbs. of apple cider!  | |
| Step 6 | |
|
Add in the apple cider, and beat on medium until you end up with a velvety frosting.  | |
| Step 7 | |
|
The apple cider scent is absolutely intoxicating!  | |
| Step 8 | |
|
I could seriously eat this on any kind of cake, and be happy!  | |
