Buttercream Icing
Ingredients
- 1 stick margarine or butter
- 1/2 c. shortening
- 1 c. granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla plus enough milk to make 2/3 cup
Instructions
Cream butter and shortening. Add sugar and mix well. Heat milk and vanilla just enough to take the chill off (not too warm). Mix milk and vanilla mixture into the butter mixture a little at a time, then beat until fluffy. Makes enough to frost an 8 inch 2 layer cake. I find this version is not as sweet as the version with confectioner's sugar.
