My good friend Rosario71 [here on cake central] recently shared this recipe with me. She’s tried a bunch of buttercream frosting recipes and says this is the BEST!
Homemade Buttercream Frosting
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup – Crisco shortening [lard]
1/2 cup – Butter or Margerine
1 tsp – clear vanilla extract [clear- otherwise the brown tint will show]
4 cups – SIFTED powdered sugar
2 tbsp -milk
Instructions
Using a blender: Cream butter and Crisco shortening; Add vanilla; add sugar one cup at a time.
- Mix will seem thick / lumpy. Add milk until frosting is fluffy.
- That’s it. Enjoy.
Sweet and has lard. Will not win healthy award.

the clear vanilla (Wilton) STILL turns my icing a champagne color. The only way I can get WHITE, is by using the substituting w/the 1/2 tsp. clear butter flvrg.

Did I read this correctly? Use a blender? I never thought of that

Do you use salted or unsalted butter? Or does it not matter?
