Instructions

Collect all of your ingredients for the fondant.
Combine the butter, sweetened condensed milk, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Mix until the fondant reaches a modeling clay-like consistency. If it's too moist, gradually knead in more confectioners' sugar until you reach the desired texture.
On a work surface generously dusted with confectioners' sugar, roll the fondant out to your preferred thickness for decorating.
