Need--Frosting
#21
Here is how I make this frosting. First dump in some powdered sugar then add about 2 heaping TBSP's of Crisco then pour in a little milk I use skim. Get a butter knife and start to mix. It will be stiff at first add some more sugar and then a little more milk keep stirring with the knife. If you are going to frost a 13 x 9" cake you can start out with about a cup of powdered sugar and a fourth of a cup of crisco. Use the same method adding little milk at a time. I have done this a million times and it always turns out right. This is how my mom made it. If you want chocolate icing add a couple tablespoons of baking cocoa and use hot water for your liquid. Good luck girls.
Also if make too much you keep it in frig in a tightly covered container.

Here's my recipe, hope it's the one you're looking for.
2 lbs. confectioners sugar
1 1/4 C Crisco solid shortening
1/2 C water
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 capful of creme bouquet ( may be purchased @ cake decorating
supply store, I think Wilton carries it also)
Or flavoring of your choice. If using oil flavoring, use only 2 drops.
Beat 25 minutes, not continuously (you could burn up your mixer) Finished product is pure white and delicious! :thumbup:
By the way, I'm a young 55!!! Let me know if this what you're looking for.
For chocolate frosting add:
1 C cocoa or a couple of squares of baking chocolate or both.

This is what I make. It's what my mom made and does not require any cooking. The only thing is I don't ever measure anything......so will try to give you an accurate idea of how much to put in.....it is delicious (much better than the stuff that comes in the can)
a whole box of powdered sugar
one egg
a tablespoon or so of vanilla
about a half cup of shortening
That's it-----mix up with your mixer (too thick?--add just a little water until it's the right consistency)
Yes, you can lick the bowl! :lol:

Hi,
I'm actually new here. I live in Los Alamos, NM. I've been eavesdropping for a couple of years now and love "listening" to your conversations. I don't quilt much, I'm learning. I finally have something to contribute... cooking of course. There is a Crisco website with many many recipes, some that I remember from long ago. crisco.com/recipes. they aren't necessarily the most "healthy," but look like they taste really good. I hope that this helps.
