Help! Melted butter frosting!
I Just made some butter frosting for cupcakes, Ingredients are butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. I think I added too much milk at the end because it isn't thick or creamy and it forms a film on top when I tried to use it. How do I fix this??

Make another batch without milk and marry the two.
Beat in more confectioner's sugar until consistency is correct.
Chill it until hard and beat it until room temp.
Consider making it next time with sweetened condensed milk instead of milk.
I would strongly suggest avoiding the cornstarch/flour option. That's difficult territory because you'd be attempting a frosting out of "quick" pastry cream which is not exactly possible or delicious.
Actually, for the ermine frosting I cook cornstarch in milk on stove for few minutes to remove the rawness and then add other ingredients like butter, sugar, heavy cream and blend it well. In the hotline search option if you type ermine frosting , you can find out some perfect measurements. Good luck. Hope this helps.
