Sometimes, I crave this (minus the cake) and just whip up 1/4 a batch and eat it with a spoon till it gets TOO rich for me to take another bite. Sometimes, you just gotta have a little (or a lot) sweet. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons crisco or 2 tablespoons other solid shortening |
1/2 cup butter, very soft |
2 lbs powdered sugar, sifted |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
2 -4 tablespoons milk (to adjust spreading consistency) |
paste food coloring |
Directions:
1. Cream together in a stand mixer the butter and Crisco until completely blended. Add the vanilla.
2. Sift in the powdered sugar a little at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl as you go. Keep sifting and blending until the whole 2 lbs. is incorporated.
3. If the icing is thick and will not spread easily, add 1 tablespoons of milk at a time until desired consistency is achieved.
4. Add food coloring. Blend well.
