No Crisco, no powdered sugar - My new go-to frosting recipe! I did use only 1 teaspoon of Kosher salt (1 Tablespoon scared me) & with 1 3/4 cups salted butter, this was perfect on a simple yellow cake filled with fig-lemon jam. I also added 2 t vanilla extract = Mmmmm! Can't wait to make with a couple of teaspoons of lemon zest with a lemon cake, next a splash of Frangelica to top a pumpkin-pecan cake.... Thanks for another fabulous recipe!
