Buttercream Frosting

blogger templates
This is my favorite frosting to make!  The secret is in the extra flavorings and real butter!

1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. Crisco
2 T. water
1 t. vanilla extract
1 t. butter extract
4 c. or 1 lb. powdered sugar

Cream together the first five ingredients and then slowly add the powdered sugar until completely blended. You can thin the frosting down by adding more water for frosting a cake or add more powdered sugar to make it thicker for decorations.  To make it pure white, omit the butter and increase Crisco to 1 cup.
