Categories     Cakes

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 c Crisco
1 c lightly salted butter (regular salted butter will work too)
2 Tbsp meringue powder
1 tsp pure vanilla extract (may want to use a clear vanilla for a pure white frosting)
1 tsp butter flavoring
1/2 tsp almond extract
1/4 tsp orange extract
1/4 tsp lemon extract
2 lb powdered sugar (must be brand name - store brand will not work)
5-6 Tbsp warm water
1/4 tsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. In a small cup, measure out water and salt. Set aside and let the salt dissolve.
  • 2. If you have a standing mixer it is highly recommended. But a hand held mixer with a very large bowl will work also. Cream together the Crisco and butter until well combined.
  • 3. Add meringue powder and all the extracts and flavorings. Mix well.
  • 4. On low speed, gradually add the powdered sugar until well combined. It will get clumpy after the whole 2lbs. has been distributed.
  • 5. Continue on low speed and gradually add salt/water mix. Add more water to frosting if necessary.

This frosting is a bit too greasy for my taste. I would recommend using less butter.

This frosting is a bit too heavy for my taste. I would prefer a lighter and fluffier frosting.

I made this frosting for the first time last week, and it was a disaster! The frosting was too runny and wouldn't hold its shape. I ended up having to throw it away.

This buttercream frosting is the best I've ever tasted! It's so smooth and creamy, and it holds its shape perfectly. I used it to frost a chocolate cake, and it was a huge hit with my family and friends.
