This is a cookie decorating frosting from a 1953 Better Homes and Gardens that my mother used all my life. I use it on my Fat Santa recipe for his hair and hat. A nice consistency that dries well. Ingredients:
1/2 cup shortening |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla |
2 1/3 cups sifted powdered sugar |
4 -5 teaspoons milk |
paste food coloring |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl beat shortening and vailla with an electric mixer for 30 seconds.
2. Gradually add 1 and 1/3 cup sifted powdered sugar, mixing well.
3. Add 1 tbl. milk. Gradually beat in last cup of powdered sugar and enough milk (3-4 tsps) to make frosting of piping consistency. Color frosting with paste food coloring. Use a decorating bag and a star tip to pipe frosting in areas where texture is desired.
