Description

Ingredients

• 1½ cups butter, room temperature
• 1 cup vegetable shortening, room temperature
• 8 cups icing sugar (powdered sugar)
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp milk
• 2 tbsp corn syrup (light if youre keeping the buttercream bright white)
• 2 tsp vanilla extract (or other flavouring extract, but start with 1 tsp if using lemon or other strong extract and then taste)

Directions

• Put the butter and shortening in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip for 7 minutes, until light, fluffy, and white in colour. If you dont have a stand mixer, your hand will probably start to hate you making this recipe. Just whip as long as you can, but the final texture may not be quite the same.
• With the mixer off, add in the icing sugar, salt, milk, corn syrup, and vanilla (or other flavour extract if youre using one). Turn the mixer onto low until all of the sugar has been combined. Turn back up to medium-high and let mix for another 7 minutes.
• At this point, add any food colouring or other flavourings, and whip just long enough to combine
