Sweetex Frosting


1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp butter flavor
1/4 tsp almond flavor
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 cups Sweetex
1 TBS meringue powder
1/2 tsp popcorn salt
2 lbs. powdered sugar

Add salt, vanilla, butter, and almond flavors to measuring cup. Add cold water to make 1/2 cup.

Beat Sweetex and slowly add water until fully incorporated. Beat in meringue powder. Gradually add powdered sugar. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed.

I have made this with AND without the meringue powder. I found no difference. I think the meringue powder is supposed to make the frosting stand up better in heat and humidity.

This uses ALL Sweetex (or high-ratio shortening) and comes out a beautiful bright white. HTH icon_smile.gif

OOPS, I think I misunderstood your request. I thought you meant a bright white icing USING high ratio. Sorry! icon_cry.gif

Ok Here is my recipe for icing:

1 Cup Hi Ratio Shortening
4 TBL White Icing Base (brite white)
7 cups 6x Powder Sugar
1/2 cup water
1 tsp or to taste what ever flavor you want. You can use extracts or louann flavored oils but use less of the oil flavoring because it is strong. I use my own flavoring mixture that gives me a unique great tasting icing.
