Ingredients
- 1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening
- 1/2 cup softened butter
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 5 cups confectioners sugar
- 3 Tbsp milk
Preparation
- Buttercream Icing Recipe
- In a large mixing bowl cream butter and shortening with electric mixer.
- Add vanilla.
- Gradually add in sifted confectioners sugar, one cup at a time beating on medium speed.
- Scrape sides and bottom of bowl often. When all of the sugar has been mixed in, icing will appear dry.
- Add milk and beat at medium speed for 3 minutes.
- Keep icing covered with a damp cloth until ready to decorate. For best results, keep icing bowl in refrigerator when not using.
- Icing can be stored in an air tight container for up to a week. Just re-whip it in your mixer before using. Makes 3 1/2 cups.
