Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 c solid shortening (i use crisco)
1/2 c butter, softened
1 tsp clear vanilla extract
4 c sifted confectioner's sugar (approximately one pound)
2 Tbsp milk

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, beat shortening and butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla.
  • 2. Add sugar one cup at a time, beating after each addition on medium speed. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl often. NOTE: By the time you have all of the sugar mixed in, the icing will appear very dry. This is normal.
