I got this recipe from a cake site and can't stop making it. It is the best buttercream recipe that I have found. I modified my recipe to include Almond Extract, but you can use just about any extract. I've done clear vanilla and raspberry with rave reviews. I use this recipe for all my cakes and cupcakes. It colors nicely. If you want a stiffer buttercream for roses and such, omit or add very little milk. If you want a thinner buttercream, add more than 6 tbs of milk. Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter |
1/2 cup butter, salted |
1 cup crisco shortening |
2 lbs powdered sugar |
3 teaspoons almond extract, clear |
5 tablespoons milk |
Directions:
1. Bring butter to room temperature.
2. In a mixing bowl, whip butter and crisco together.
3. Add the extract and whip.
4. Slowly add the powdered sugar and mix well.
5. Add one tbs milk at a time until you get your desired stiffness.
6. Whip for 5-10 minutes until fluffy.
