Steps

1

Take the butter out 4 hours in advance to bring it to room temperature, and sift the powdered sugar.
2

Place the butter, powdered sugar, and chosen flavoring in the mixer. Start at low speed for one minute, then mix for 4 minutes at medium speed. The buttercream will change color and become paler.

It can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for about a week, but you will need to bring it to room temperature before using and beat it until it regains its original consistency.
