Buttercream Frosting

Give me your best buttercream frosting. One that you have actually used, not just googled.

I have 2 recipes for it that I love but I wanna try something new

This is what I use:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 pound (4 cups) confectioners sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons of milk

Cream butter with beaters in a large mixing bowl. Add vanilla.
Gradually add sugar 1 cup at a time, beating between additions.
Scrape down sides of bowl often.
When mixture starts to thicken and appears dry, add 2 tablespoons of the milk. Beat on medium speed until smooth and creamy, 2 to 4 minutes. Add milk as needed if iou want a thinner consistency. Add a few drops of food coloring, if desired.
Store frosting at room temperature. Icing can be stored in a airtight container up to three days.

it's smurfing amazing

That is almost exactly the same recipe I use for frosting. But mine has seperated the last couple times I've made it and I don't know why

That's weird!

It;s really weird and it is pissing me off

I'm using my normal brands, same butters and everything. I'm going to try it again soon

that's super weird! thats the same recipe I use and thats never happened to me!
maybe too much milk or something?

also, sometimes I use whipping cream instead of milk
