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
-
Beat the butter until it’s fluffy.
-
Continue to beat as you add 1 cup of the powdered sugar and 1 Tablespoon of milk.
-
Add the final cup of powdered sugar and the final Tablespoon of milk and beat the mixture until smooth.
-
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.
-
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.
