Old Fashioned Butter Cream Frosting

My staple go to frosting.  
​Disclaimer, I use a raw egg for this recipe, can't beat old fashioned goodness, it makes the frosting consistency shiny and rich.  Purchasing organic neighborhood farm eggs are advised.  I have been using this recipe for over 30 years and have never had an issue.  Pray over it if your concerned.  Its the best!

Ingredients
1/2 cup softened butter
3 cups powdered sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
