How to get buttercream to not curdle
Measure the ingredients carefully and exactly.
Ensure that the ratio of butter to sugar to liquids or flavorings is exactly right. If you have a little too much liquid (such as milk or vanilla extract) or not enough butter, the buttercream can curdle.
Use measuring cups and spoons or a digital scale for accuracy. Limit the liquid in the buttercream.
