Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.

Instructions

1
Beat the softened butter in a large bowl with a stand mixer or hand mixer on medium speed for 2–3 minutes, until pale and noticeably fluffy.
2
Reduce the mixer to low and add the sifted powdered sugar in three additions, mixing after each until just incorporated before adding the next. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula between additions.
