Hello everyone! I am looking for a non-crusting buttercream recipe. I looked in the recipe section, but wasn't sure if the recipes I found crust or not - so I'm hoping you guys can help me out and point me in the right direction!
Thanks,
Chelle

Thanks! Apparently I can't read because I didn't see it in the list of recipes! Do you know if it's the butter that makes it not crust or the ratio of shortening/butter to the powdered sugar?
Thanks!

I tried the Reenie's crusting buttercream - and while it says "crusting" it doesn't crust. It is VERY light and airy.
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, room temp.
1 stick (1 cup) Crisco, NOT the butter flavored
1 tsp. clear vanilla extract
3/4 tsp. butter flavor
1 lb. bag powdered sugar
6 Tbsp. milk
1. In a stand mixer bowl, fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, Crisco, vanilla and butter flavor on medium speed until smooth and uniform in color.
2. Turn off mixer and add the powdered sugar. Turn mixer on the lowest setting and begin to add the milk one tablespoon at a time.
3. Once the sugar is just mixed into the butter mixture turn the mixer on high and whip for 5 minutes until frosting is light and semi-airy.
Now I contacted Reenie, to see if I couldn't get some input as to why it didn't crust, and she discovered that it should have read 2lbs confectioner sugar...not 1lb confectioner sugar -so if you follow it as written, it will not crust...but is very good!
Thanks newlywedws!!!! I was starting to think 1/2 as much ps as shortening/butter will create a non-crusting bc!
