Buttercream Icing

Ingredients:

1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening 1/2 cup butter or margarine*

1 teaspoon Clear Vanilla 4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar

2 tablespoons milk**

Cream butter and shortening with electric mixer. Add vanilla. Gradually add sugar, one cup at a time, beating well on medium

speed. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl often. When all sugar has been mixed in, icing will appear dry. Add milk and beat at

medium speed until light and fluffy. Keep icing covered with a damp cloth until ready to use. For best results, keep icing

bowl in refrigerator when not in use. Refrigerated in an airtight container, this icing can be stored 2 weeks. Rewhip before

using.

YIELD: 3 cups

*Substitute all-vegetable shortening and 1/2 teaspoon Wilton No-Color Butter Flavor for pure white icing and stiffer

consistency.

**Add 2 tablespoons light corn syrup per recipe to thin for icing cake.
