Buttercream Recipe

Do you love a light but sweet buttercream?  Then this is it!  It can be whipped up quickly and is just yum.  I do sift the confections sugar one cup at a time.  It is a bit tedious but worth the step for that light and fluffy texture.

Buttercream recipe

1 1/2 sticks butter

1/4cup criso

1 tablespoons water

1 teaspoon vanilla

4 cups confectioners sugar

2-4 tablespoons milk

To make a Crumb Coat for a two tier 6" & 8" make a double batch.  Check the consistency after each tablespoon of milk.  6 Tablespoons seemed good for the frosting decor but when it got warm the frosting became a bit drippy. 4 Tablespoons seemed to be the sweet spot :)

Left Over Turkey and Corn Chowder

White and Dark meat skin and bones removed chopped in small pieces

Left over mashed potatoes (or store bought works well too)

2 cans cream of chicken soup

Small Bag of frozen corn with peppers and onions

A little garlic powder salt and pepper

Add chicken broth and milk until you get the consistency you like.

Serve with shredded cheese on top

Yum!
