For an even smoother frosting, ensure the milk mixture is completely cooled before adding it to the butter mixture. If the frosting appears curdled, continue beating on low speed; it should come together. Alternatively, chill for 15 minutes and re-whip. Feel free to experiment with flavor extracts, such as almond, lemon, or peppermint, in place of the vanilla. For a richer flavor, use browned butter. Allow it to cool and solidify slightly before creaming with the sugar. This frosting is best used immediately or within a few hours, as it may not hold its shape as well as traditional powdered sugar frosting over time. For a more stable frosting, consider adding 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar to the milk mixture before cooking.
