Recipe for Butter Based Icing

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of butter or ½ cup of butter & ½ of cream well or vegetable shortening
  • 400 grams of sifted icing sugar (you can reduce the amount of sugar but not too much if not fat would consist more than sugar; makes the butter cream less solid)
  • 1 tbsp of meringue powder (in replacement of egg white)
  • 1 tsp of flavor of your choice (ensure the flavoring is colorless)
  • Pinch of salt (this could help to level the sweetness in the icing)
  • 2 tbsp of milk or water (eyeball the texture before placing the milk/water in)
  • Edible coloring of your choice

Method

  1. On low speed; mix the butter and icing sugar together till smooth
  2. Add in the remaining ingredients and continue to mix on low speed
  3. Lastly, check the consistency of your icing butter
  4. If icing is too stiff; gradually add in the 2 tbsp water/milk to achieve soft consistency to ice a cake.
