Can I use a hand mixer instead of heavy duty to make buttercream icing?
I do not have the money to dish out yet for a heavy duty mixer. I need to make a birthday cake and need to use the buttercream recipe. I just do not know if I can use a hand mixer instead of the heavy duty! HELP!
Yes, just make sure you do it correctly and don't get the buttercream mixture everywhere!
Heres my recipe which i use all the time to make a great butter-icing
140g butter, softened
280g icing sugar
1-2 tbsp milk
a few drops food colouring (if needed)
1. Beat the butter in a large bowl until soft. Add half the icing sugar and beat until smooth.
2. Then add the remaining icing sugar with one tablespoon of the milk.
3. Beat until creamy then add the food colouring and mix well.
4. Add extra icing sugar to thicken or a little extra milk to make more runny if necessary.
