Buttercream Frosting


Makes 3 cups stiff icing

½ cup solid vegetable shortening
½ cup butter, softened but not melted
1 lb. confectioners sugar (about 4 cups)
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

Cream shortening and butter. Add sugar, milk and vanilla. Blend on medium speed until all ingredients are mixed well. Blend a minute or two more until creamy in texture. If using a hand mixer and icing is not creamy, use high speed or add more milk a drop at at time. This icing can be refrigerated in an air tight container for up to 2 weeks. Rewhip before using.
