Vienna Cream Frosting (Better Than Cream!) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 lb butter, chopped (125 grams)
1 3/4 cups icing sugar, 280 grams (powdered confectioners sugar)
2 tablespoons milk

Preparation

Beat the butter in a small bowl with an electric mixer. You need to beat it for a fair length of time -until it is as white as possible.
Gradually beat in half of the sugar, all the milk and then the remaining sugar.
If you would like the mixture thicker- add in some extra icing sugar one spoonful at a time until the consistency is right. If the mixture is too thick- gradually (and I mean gradually) add in some more liquid until the consistency is achieved.).
VARIATIONS:
To make it chocolate- add in 2 or 3 tablespoons of cocoa with the sugar and a little extra milk if required.
Coffee- add 3 teaspoons of instant coffee in 2 tablespoons of hot water(omit the milk).
Lemon- substitute lemon juice for the milk. You can also add in some lemon zest.
orange- use orange juice in place of the milk.
Different colours/flavours- add food colouring and flavours of your choice (in place of some liquid in the recipe).
For pink I add some rosewater and a few drops of cochineal.
