I always use this when I decorate cakes and I get many, many compliments on the wonderful taste. It is not that usual shortening-and-sugar-bakery-icing taste. If I am not using it to decorate a cake with, I use my all butter variation: Butter Cream Icing (Buttercream Frosting). Ingredients:
1/2 cup shortening |
1/2 cup real butter |
1 1/2 teaspoons clear vanilla extract |
1 dash salt (optional) |
5 cups confectioners' sugar |
2 -3 tablespoons milk |
Directions:
1. Cream butter and shortening then add vanilla.
2. Add sugar a cup at a time beating on medium speed.
3. Add milk 1 Tbls. at a time and beat on high until completely blended.
4. TIP: To cut the sweetness I usually sprinkle some salt in the vanilla (so it will dissolve) before proceeding with recipe as instructed.
