The Absolute Best Buttercream Frosting... Ever! image

Frosting that makes you go 'Mmmm..." Lemon, orange , almond, vanilla... they're all here and they're all so delicious. A must try!

Categories     Cakes

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 c Crisco
1 c lightly salted butter (regular salted butter will work too)
2 Tbsp meringue powder
1 tsp pure vanilla extract (may want to use a clear vanilla for a pure white frosting)
1 tsp butter flavoring
1/2 tsp almond extract
1/4 tsp orange extract
1/4 tsp lemon extract
2 lb powdered sugar (must be brand name - store brand will not work)
5-6 Tbsp warm water
1/4 tsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. In a small cup, measure out water and salt. Set aside and let the salt dissolve.
  • 2. If you have a standing mixer it is highly recommended. But a hand held mixer with a very large bowl will work also. Cream together the Crisco and butter until well combined.
  • 3. Add meringue powder and all the extracts and flavorings. Mix well.
  • 4. On low speed, gradually add the powdered sugar until well combined. It will get clumpy after the whole 2lbs. has been distributed.
  • 5. Continue on low speed and gradually add salt/water mix. Add more water to frosting if necessary.

I had a bit of trouble getting the frosting to the right consistency. It was a little too runny at first, but I added some more powdered sugar and it turned out perfect.

This frosting is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time I make it.

I'm not a huge fan of buttercream frosting, but this recipe changed my mind. It's so light and fluffy, and it doesn't have that heavy, greasy feeling that some buttercream frostings have. I'll definitely be making this again!
