Ingredients

• 1 cup Butter – Softened (we used Salted Sweet Cream Butter)

• 5 cups of Powdered Sugar

• 1 tablespoon of Lemon Zest

• 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed Lemon Juice

Directions

1. In a mixer, add the butter and the lemon juice.
2. Mix together on low speed until they are completely combined.
3. Add the powdered sugar one cup at a time and continue to beat on medium speed until the frosting is creamy.
4. Add the lemon zest and 1 small drop of yellow food coloring (if desired)
5. Add clear vanilla extract
6. Continue to mix.
7. If the frosting is too runny, add 1/2 cup additional powdered sugar.
8. Keep adding powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time until you have the frosting at the desired consistency.
