Easy Frosting

Description: I have been making this recipe for years. I don't know if someone else has the same one, but it is one I came up with when I was first married and I did not care for the store ready-to-spread ones. You can also add food coloring too--I have had some pretty colors with this frosting.

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup Butter Flavor Crisco
• 1/4 cup butter, room temperature
• 1 lb confectioners' sugar
• 1 -2 teaspoon vanilla
• milk (enough to use for desired consistency)

Steps:

1. Mix Crisco, butter and vanilla together using medium speed on mixer.
2. Add confectioners sugar until blended inches.
3. Add milk, a little bit at a time until you reach the desired consistency you want; creamier for a cake and more liquid for on top of cookies.
4. You don't want it too thin, just eye it up for what you would be using it for.
