This is a good creamy recipe that tastes great too! It is stiff so you can make flowers and decorate cakes with it, but it won't have enough crisco to get that greasy feeling in your mouth. If it is to thick to spread (It souldn't be) you can add a bit of milk, just a little bit, and mix that in, or you could microwave it for just a few seconds! don't microwave it to long! Oh! It also takes colors very well, and it is pretty white

Ingredients

  • 1 stick- unsalted butter, room temp. 1 and 2/3 cups- powder sugar about 1/3 (can add more to make it more stiff) cup- crisco 1 teaspoon- vanilla 1/4 teaspoon or to taste- salt

Does this buttercream crust up? It sounds good and easy to make.

We don't have crisco here, is normal corn syrup ok to use as a substitute? Or does it have to be crisco? Thanx

Crisco is a room temperture stable fat not a sweetener or syrup. You would be better off substituting more butter.

What measurement in grammes or cups is a stick of butter?

1 stick of butter is equal to a half cup.
