Always sift the powdered sugar before whipping into the frosting. If you skip this step, your frosting may turn out as lumpy as tapioca pudding.
Whip softened butter until light and fluffy. Mix in powdered sugar a little at a time until a thick paste forms, whip in vanilla. Add milk one tablespoon at a time, beat for another few minutes or so until you reach a fluffy, spreadable consistency.
