Ingredients
- 8 ounces butter
- 2 cups vegetable shortening (preferably Crisco)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon butter flavoring
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 tablespoon meringue powder
- 2 pounds confectioners’ sugar r, sifted
- 1 tablespoon milk (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the butter, Crisco, and salt in a large bowl and beat on low speed for 5 minutes. Add the vanilla, butter flavor, and almond extract and beat until well blended. Turn off the mixer and add the meringue powder and half of the confectioners’ sugar. Mix on the slowest speed the mixer has. Mix in the remaining sugar 1/2 cup at a time, until all the sugar is mixed in.works well.
- Turn the mixer up to medium and beat until smooth and creamy. This should take about 5 minutes. If the icing seems too thick to spread, beat in up to 1 tablespoon milk to loosen it.
Notes
- Meringue powder and butter flavoring can be found at stores that sell cake decorating supplies.
- The recipe can be made without Meringue powder and butter flavoring, but the icing tastes better if you use the butter flavoring. And the icing will hold its shape better with the meringue powder.
- I highly recommend sifting your confectioners’ sugar before using. Sifting eliminates those clumps that sometimes form in the confectioners’ sugar. Once you have sifted the confectioners’ sugar, it blends together better than unsifted confectioners’ sugar. If you don’t have a sifter, you can use a regular sieve.
- You can make the icing ahead of time before using it. Store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Please bring it to room temp and whisk or use an electric mixer to make it soft for spreading.
