Professional Butter Cream Frosting
This is fluffy enough to frost easily, yet stiff enough for keeping its shape for decorating.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups Crisco shortening (only use Crisco)
- 2 pounds confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons Karo light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon butter flavoring
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Beat for 5 to 10 minutes with an electric mixer until very smooth.
- Water down a small amount for a crumb coat if frosting a cake.
- After 20 minutes (when set), frost with remainder of frosting.
- When set, use paper towel or typing paper to set desired surface texture.
