Swirls of Flavor Recipe Tips
- Be sure that your butter is at room temperature for easy blending
- Measure your confectioners’ sugar correctly and either spoon it into your measuring cups and level with the flat end of a knife of use a food scale and weigh it out
- Be mindful not to scoop your measuring cup into the confectioners’ sugar or you will be packing the sugar into the measuring cup and will have too much sugar for the recipe

- Half and half or heavy cream can always be substituted for the milk. You just might want to add an extra teaspoon or more to get the consistency you want
