Scrape down sides and add vanilla and salt.
Next, gradually add sugar, then the meringue powder.
Once all well combined, add in liquid slowly until desired texture is met.
Cover with a damp towel if using the same day. If it’s for another day, refrigerate or freeze. Take out a few hours before using and use paddle on electric mixture to smooth before ready to frost.

Is there a substitute for the vegetable or coconut shortening? Thanks this frosting looks so awesome
You can use clarified butter, or ghee & use a one-to-one ratio.
Can I use marg?
Yes but you will need less liquid
I don't see whip in the list of ingredients. How much whip is added to the shortening?
