1 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon salt
5 cups icing sugar, sifted
7 to 8 Tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 Tablespoons powdered instant coffee
Place the butter in a mixing bowl and cream it until it is light, using a rotary mixer. Add the salt and gradually add the powdered sugar as you continue mixing. Add the milk as the mixture thickens so as to keep the icing spreadable. Add the vanilla and coffee and continue to beat until all the sugar is well absorbed.
