Here's the classic recipe from Billy's Bakery in NYC, courtesy Billy Reese
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
6 to 8 cups confectioner's sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter until smooth and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. With mixer on low speed, add 6 cups sugar, milk, and vanilla; mix until light and fluffy. If necessary, gradually add remaining 2 cups sugar to reach desired consistency.
(note from me, not Billy) for alternate flavors, add:
Chocolate - Add 2 to 3 squares melted and cooled unsweetened baking chocolate.
Lemon or Orange - Stir in 1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon or orange peel.
Creamy Coconut - Stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons coconut extract or flavoring.
Or get creative & let us know how it comes out
