1. In large mixing bowl with an electric mixer (I like to use my stand mixer with paddle attachment) cream together sugar and butter, on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.

2. Beat in egg until combined. Scrape down bowl as needed. Beat in vanilla extract until evenly mixed.

3. With mixer on low speed, add flour and salt and beat to combine. The dough will be very thick. Add in milk and beat to combine. The milk helps thin out the dough so it’s easier to pipe. The more milk you add the more it spreads.
