Directions

20 min.

1. Step

Puree the strawberries in a blender or food processor. If you prefer a seedless frosting, strain the strawberry puree.

2. Step

Combine the pureed strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan and simmer over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened and reduced by about half.

3. Step

Remove from heat and cool completely.

4. Step

In a large bowl, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add in powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition.

5. Step

Pour in the cooled strawberry mixture, beat until well combined. If your frosting is too thin, add more powdered sugar. If it's too thick, add heavy cream a tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

6. Step

Your Homemade Strawberry Icing is ready to be used in cakes, cookies or muffins.

Easy Drop Biscuits

Drop biscuits are the fastest and easiest biscuits you can make—all you do is whisk together the dry ingredients, stir in the liquids, and drop lumps of dough onto a baking sheet. The secret to getting these drop biscuits light and tender: beer. If beer isn’t your thing, substitute the same volume of buttermilk. We recommend serving with a hearty dish, like the best chili recipe ever.
