Alice's Butter Frosting

Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup butter flavored Shortening|Crisco or 2 sticks (¼ lb)
  • ? cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla

Directions

  1. Mix granulated sugar|sugar and Crisco together.
  2. Heat milk until hot on finger (do not boil)
  3. Add half of the milk to granulated sugar|sugar - Crisco mixture and beat 2 minutes.
  4. Add rest of milk and beat 8 minutes longer (a total of 10 minutes all together).
  5. The beating breaks up the granulated sugar|sugar granules to a whipped cream consistency, but is a butter type.
  6. To make a whipped cream frosting, use white Crisco instead of butter-flavored (I use these often as I don't always have powdered sugar|confectioners' sugar on hand)
  7. Enjoy.
