Comment préparer Extra Special Buttercream Icing
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and ½ cup shortening until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
- Gradually add 6 cups powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon meringue powder, and about half of the cream, creaming until thoroughly combined and smooth.
- Add ¼ teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (or desired flavoring), and enough heavy cream (start with 2-4 tablespoons) to reach your desired consistency.
- Beat on medium speed for 3-5 minutes, until the icing is light, fluffy, and holds its peaks.
- For a pure white icing, substitute all 1 ½ cups (3 sticks) of butter and shortening with shortening.
- Using butter creates a delicate ivory color; a touch of vanilla extract enhances the beautiful pale color.
- The meringue powder helps create a delicate, light crust while keeping the inside soft and fluffy.
