Ok I use her recipe exclusively for my buttercream. I have always used Crisco but now I have all the problems. Does anyone use hi ratio shortening? I am wondering if I need to use less than what it says in the recipe? I have read emails that you should use less hi ratio shortening than Crisco.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Cecilia

I have been using an Off-brand called "RICH-TEX" that I found at Walmart.
It lists the same amount of Trans fat as the Original Crisco did. My buttercream is smooth and no air bubbles and as consistant as always again....whew Thumbs Up!
