I don't much care for the flavor of shortening in frostings, so I always just used butter. However, since I'm in love with Butter Flavor Crisco now, I made a batch of buttercream frosting using it with butter, and can't taste the shortening. Yum!

You can add any flavor to this basic recipe: extracts, citrus juices, cocoa, melted chocolate, etc.
