Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 Cup Solid Vegetable Shortening ((can be substituted for an additional 1/2 cup unsalted butter))
1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter ((1 stick softened))
4 Cups Sifted Powdered Sugar ((confectioners' sugar))
2 Tablespoons Milk, Heavy Cream or Water
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract ((Pure or Imitation))
Pinch of Salt ((Optional))

Steps:

  • Using an electric mixer fitted with beaters or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and shortening on a medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract and scrape down the bowl occasionally.
  • Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time. Start by mixing each cup on a low speed then transition to beating well on medium speed. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl after each cup of sugar is added. When all the sugar has been mixed in, the frosting will appear dry and stiff.
  • Gradually add small amounts of cream or milk or water at a time until the desired consistency is reached. Continue to beat at a medium speed until light and fluffy. Scrape down the bowl once more and beat again to make sure all the ingredients are incorporated.
  • (Optional) Add a pinch of salt if too sweet and mix until completely dissolved.

Tips:

  • Use unsalted butter: This allows you to control the amount of salt in the frosting.
  • Bring the butter to room temperature: This will make it easier to cream together with the sugar.
  • Gradually add the sugar: This will help prevent the frosting from becoming grainy.
  • Beat the frosting until it is light and fluffy: This will incorporate air into the frosting and make it smooth and creamy.
  • Add flavorings: You can add any flavorings you like to the frosting, such as vanilla extract, chocolate syrup, or fruit puree.
  • Use the frosting immediately: Buttercream frosting is best used fresh. If you need to store it, keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Buttercream frosting is a classic frosting that is perfect for cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts. It is easy to make and can be flavored in many different ways. With a little practice, you can make perfect buttercream frosting every time.
