Ingredients
- 1 cup shortening
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 2 1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 cups sifted powdered sugar
Directions
In large bowl, combine shortening and vanilla. Beat with electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Slowly add 2-1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar, beating well. Add milk. Slowly beat in 2 additional cups sifted powdered sugar. Beat in enough additional milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until frosting is easy to spread.
If you make a cake and make icing...use shortening if it is going to sit out for a function; use butter for better taste if it is for home and then refrigerate. My mom always used the rule of thumb that if you didn't want to refrigerate an iced cookie or cake use shortening, if you don't mind refrigeration use butter...unless you plan to bake and serve immediately then butter is OK!

1/26/2011 02:12:31 PM Report AbuseI agree with pluto6210...the recipe given will be sugary shortening. A much better recipe: 1/2 cup butter or oleo, 1/2 cup shortening, 4 cups powdered sugar, 2 tsp. vanilla, two shakes of salt, and 2 Tlb. milk. Add butter, shortening, vanilla and salt to your mixing bowl. Make sure the salt and vanilla are blended to melt the salt. Cream mixture. Add powdered sugar one cup at a time and blend. Add milk to thin. Beat until fluffy and delicious!!
