Lemon Buttercream Frosting

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter

  room temperature
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¼ cup Lemon juice

  from two lemons

Instructions

• 1 First, measure out all of the lemon buttercream frosting ingredients with the
  measuring cup and spoons.
• 2 Next, prepare a stand mixer with a beater attachment.
• 3 Then, add the room temp butter to the mixer bowl.
• 4 Beat the butter by itself for 5 minutes, or until it is double in size, light,
  and creamy.
• 5 Then, add in the salt and freshly squeezed lemon juice to the butter bowl and
  beat again.
• 6 Next, add in the powdered sugar ½ cup at a time, mixing well between each
  addition. For this step, I like to keep my mixer on a low speed otherwise the
  kitchen gets covered in powdered sugar.
• 7 After mixing in all the powdered sugar, run the mixer on high speed for 8
  minutes.
• 8 Then, scoop the lemon buttercream frosting into a piping bag lined with a metal
  piping tip.
• 9 Finally, close the frosting bag with a tie and start piping the frosting onto
  your treats!
