MY FAVORITE BUTTER CREAM FROSTING RECIPES
These are three of my favorite butter cream frosting recipes. All three of these recipes are tried and true. The first recipe is for a Wilton Butter Cream icing using both shortening and butter. The second recipe is a recipe I have used for many, many years, right off of the Domino Confectioners Sugar box, and lastly a recipe...

Steps:
- 1. Wilton Buttercream icing: In a large mixing bowl: cream butter and shortening with electric mixer.
- 2. Add vanilla. Gradually add sugar, one cup at a time, beating well on medium speed.
- 3. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl often. When all the sugar has been mixed in, icing will appear dry. Add milk and beat at high speed until light and fluffy.
- 4. Keep icing covered with a damp cloth until you are ready to decorate.
- 5. Domino Sugar Butter Cream Frosting: Combine in a large bowl, with mixer at low speed, confectioner's sugar, butter, milk and vanilla.
- 6. Beat at medium speed 1-2 minutes until creamy. If desired, add more milk until frosting is spreading consistency. Makes enough to fill and frost 2-layer cake, 13x9x2-inch sheet cake or 24 cupcakes.
- 7. Professional Butter Cream Frosting: Cream shortening, flavoring and water. Add dry ingredients and mix on medium speed until all ingredients have been thoroughly mixed together.
- 8. Blend an additional minute or so, until creamy. Chocolate Buttercream Variation: Add 3/4 cup cocoa or three 1 oz. unsweetened chocolate squares, melted and additional 1 to 2 tablespoons water to recipe. Mix until well blended.

h@hotmail.comI had some trouble getting the frosting to the right consistency. It was a little too runny at first, but I was able to fix it by adding a little more powdered sugar.

mb63@hotmail.co.ukThis frosting is a bit sweeter than I prefer, but it's still very good. I would recommend using a little less sugar if you don't like your frosting too sweet.
