How to make vanilla buttercream

Vanilla buttercream is relatively simple to make at home. Beat 250g of unsalted butter until its consistency is soft and whipped. Then, mix in 500g of icing sugar in small amounts so as not to cover the area in sugar until the icing is fully combined with the butter. Finally, mix in ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract to flavour the buttercream.
