Hi-Ratio Shortening Buttercream Recipes
Baking By ZaveyCakes Updated 6 Jan 2014 , 1:04am by ZaveyCakes
AI just recently ordered hi ratio shortening after doing a bit of research and learning that the buttercream would not break down as fast as it would if I were to use Crisco. My only problem is I haven't found any recipes that appeal to me, I'm just now getting back into decorating so I don't have a lot of money to invest in the ingredients right now so the easier & cheaper the recipe the better. Any recipe given would be greatly appreciated as well.
this is the formula I use
14 oz hi ratio shortening
4 # powdered sugar
8 oz hot water
1 tblsp salt
1 tblsp clear vanilla
mix shortening and water to incorporate
add salt and vanilla
add sugar slowly
scrape down sides of bowl
let mix till smooth 3-5 min
may need to adjust water amount to suit
summer I use less water
this formula is from my grandfathers bakery I would make
an 80 qt bowl twice a week!
Thank you very much! This is exactly what I was looking for. I am looking forward to trying it out.
