Vanilla Buttercream Frosting Recipe

  • 1 Cup butter
  • 1 Cup solid shortening (crisco)
  • 2 lbs powdered sugar
  • 4-6 Tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla flavor
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond or 1/4 teaspoon lemon flavor
Directions:
  • Cream butter and shortening, add milk and flavorings. Beat well. Add powdered sugar a little at a time until well blended.

  • Your icing may be a little thick. If it is, just add a Tablespoon of milk at a time until you get a good, spreadable consistency. If the icing is too thin, add a little powdered sugar to help thicken it up.
