Did they do something to Crisco that might be the reason the last couple times I made butter cream its not crusting? Not only that but I haven't had to add liquid as I always have in the past to thin it, its already thin enough. I made a second batch today and just added extra 10x, but its the same recipe I always use....any ideas.? Could it be humidity in the air, even in a house with A/C on? I am stumped |

I had that same problem yesterday. Even with the A/C on neither cake really crusted over. I live in Iowa and the humidity has been off the charts. I don't usually add merengue powder to my butter cream, but wondered if that would help. |

Crisco has changed their recipe. I started using storebrand shortening. |

Do you mean they've changed it again, since they went to zero trans fat a couple of years ago, when everyone started having the big non-crusting problem? |

I use meringue powder and it would not crust....so I remade it and added extra sugar that time, and then it crusted. |

It's probably the humidity! Here in Alabama the humidity is dealing us fits. Even indoors with the AC on buttercream is affected. Last week my BC had the consistency of pudding. |
