Best buttercream frosting there is?

I found the quality of the butter makes all the difference. I use European butters with a higher butterfat and then just follow any buttercream frosting recipe, like the following:

4 cups powdered sugar

1 cup unsalted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 tablespoons milk

cream together sugar and the butter.

add the vanilla.

add the milk and beat on a medium speed until it is a spreading consistency.

if needed add additional milk, 1 teaspoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.

Butter Cream Frosting

Ingredients

1/4 cup butter

2 cups confectioner's sugar

2 egg yolks

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons cream

Instructions

Throughly cream butter and sugar. Stir in unbeaten egg yolks and vanilla. Add cream as frosting becomes thick.

BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

1 lb. confectioners' sugar

1/2 c. butter, softened

1 tsp. vanilla extract

3 tbsp. milk

Food coloring (optional)

In large bowl, beat together sugar, butter, vanilla and milk until smooth. If necessary add more milk until frosting is spreading consistency. If desired, add a few drops of food coloring. Mix everything well.

I like the one on the domino confectioners sugar box...you can

add milk a little at a time.yum yum

by the way, if its too sweet for you, add a three ounce bar of

cream cheese.
