Ingredients

1c granulated sugar4 egg whites3 sticks or 24 tbs of land o lakes butter (magarine is too oily will not turn out right if you change tried it an wasted money)2 tsp Vanilla extract2lbs powdered sugar1c crisco1tsp almond extract

Directions

In a metal pan combine granulated sugar and egg whites whisk with hand mixer over a pot of simmering water until sugar is dissolved completly and no granules can be felt when rubbed between fingers. Transfer to stand mixer and mix until egg whites double in size and turn white add vanilla then add butter one stick at a time. It may take a while to come togather but when it does you will have swiss buttercream which I found way too buttery for me. So I added one cup of crisco and whipped togather. Then sifted 2 lbs of powdered sugar and added about a cup at a time until all incorporated. Last add the 2nd tsp of vanilla and a tsp of almond extract. You will have a great version of buttercream icing that will hold up good for icing and decorating a large birthday cake and likely some will be left over.

This frosting came out really good! I actually divided it in half because I only needed to frost some cupcakes for my daughter's birthday party for her school. I frosted 18 and I still had maybe a cup or so left. I think next time I would omit the almond extract, but that's just my preference. - 12/8/10
