- 110 ml Milk I use semi skimmed
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 800 g Icing Sugar I don't sieve beforehand but if your icing or confectioner's sugar is lumpy, then please do. You might need more if your frosting is still quite soft so have extra available

- Add in the icing (Confectioner's) sugar, one tablespoon at a time until all added
- Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl and make sure the frosting is smooth. You might need to add some more icing sugar at this stage, if your frosting is too soft
