(from Ryan77’s recipe box)

Source: Joanne Fluke

Categories: Topping

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup softened butter (1 stick, 1/4 pound)
  • 2 cups powdered (confectioner’s) sugar (there’s no need to sift unless it’s got hard lumps)
  • 2 Tablespoons (1/8 cup) milk

Directions

  1. Beat the butter until it’s fluffy.

  2. Continue to beat as you add 1 cup of the powdered sugar and 1 Tablespoon of milk.

  3. Add the final cup of powdered sugar and the final Tablespoon of milk and beat the mixture until smooth.

  4. Check for consistency. This Soft Sauce should be fairly thick but still pourable. If it’s too thin, beat in more powdered sugar. If it’s too thick, add a bit more milk.

  5. Store the Soft Sauce in a tightly-covered container in your refrigerator. Take it out thirty minutes or so before you’re ready to serve it.
