Ingredients
2 ½
cups
(300g) powdered sugar
1
cup
(226g) softened unsalted butter
2
tsp
(10mL) lemon juice
1
tsp
(1g) lemon zest
⅛
tsp
(1g) salt
Instructions
Zest and juice one lemon.
Cream butter and add in 1 tsp of zest and 2 tsp of lemon juice. Beat well.
Add sugar slowly, a spoonful at a time on low speed or mix by hand. This helps prevent gritty frosting.
Notes
You can increase the amount of juice to create a looser consistency. Just take it slow, 1/2 tsp at a time.
