    Def heavy cream not half and half. You get a very rich and creamy frosting with heavy cream.

    Never tried. I use my kitchen aid but before I had that I used a regular handheld mixer.

    Butter, cream, confectioner sugar
    Play around with the amounts but depending on the brand of sugar and butter I usually use 3 cups confectionery sugar, 2 sticks of butter and a tbs of cream. The weather makes a huge difference in how it comes out too.

    Once everything is incorporated, beat the mixture on high (or as high as you can without splatter) for at least 3 minutes. Yum – just made some last night!

    The Crisco keeps the frosting white if you need white frosting it really doesn’t affect the taste

    Use clear vanilla extract for true white icing. You should find it at your market. If not, look for it at a bakery supply store. Great idea to have it on hand for other recipes too!

    How to drag out a simple recipe for maximum counted “clicks” — nothing new about the recipe, either. Basically the same buttercream recipe as in my Betty Crocker cookbook circa 1969 and my mother’s from the 1950s. You don’t just dump everything in a bowl and mix it.

    You can use flavored creamers for a flavored icing but I wouldn’t either, Linda Davis. Plain ole half and half works just fine. 🙂
