So, I love a good buttercream. Unfortunately, good buttercreams generally don't like me as they call for shortening and all of the shortenings I've been able to find have soy... and with my lovely soy intolerance... yeah, y'all can put 2 and 2 together. So, I found this recipe online awhile back but never tried it out. I tried it tonight and I have to say, I'm *loving* the flavor. The consistency isn't bad, either, though it isn't fantastic for actual decorating. But, the key is the flavor, right? So, anyway, here's the recipe:
Ingredients - 3 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 cup butte, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 to 2 tablespoons whipping cream
Directions - In a standing mixer fitted with a whisk, mix together sugar and butter. Mix on low speed until well blended and then increase speed to medium and beat for another 3 minutes.
- Add vanilla and cream and continue to beat on medium speed for 1 minute more, adding more cream if needed for spreading consistency.
