buttercream super hot

•1 cup butter
•1 cup shortening (high ratio or IGA store brand , for me never Crisco)
•2 tablespoons cornstarch (this is the heat and humidity fighting ingredient)
•4 tablespoons liquid (milk, heavy cream, water, coffee creamer, juice….)
•2 teaspoons of flavoring such as vanilla
•8 cups of confectioner sugar
Mix the first five ingredients then slowly add the sugar. In super hot weather reduce the liquid by 1/4 and reduce the butter to shortening ratio i.e. more shortening less butter.
