This very simple recipe makes a fluffy and buttery icing that doesn’t crust. It’s luscious and can be made in all sorts of flavors. It is not sweet because of the presence of salt which cuts the perception of sweetness and the combination of vanilla and almond extracts. Citrus flavors also cut the perception of sweetness as does the addition of milk.
