Ingredients:

1. Unsalted Butter - 250gm
2. Icing Sugar - 250gm
3. Vanilla Essence - 1 teaspoon

Method:

1. Sieve the icing sugar and keep aside
2. Beat the unsalted butter until pale and light,
3. Slowly incorporate the sieved icing sugar little by little(1 Table spoon at a time) until well combined
