Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 2 cups shortening (Crisco white vegetable shortening)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon butter flavoring
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 tablespoon meringue powder
  • 2 pounds confectioners’ sugar (sifted)
  • Half and half cream (optional)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Combine the butter, Crisco, and salt in a large bowl and beat on low speed for 5 minutes. Add the vanilla, butter flavor, and almond extract and beat until well blended.

  • Step 2: Turn off the mixer and add the meringue powder and half of the confectioners’ sugar. Mix on the slowest speed the mixer has. Mix in the remaining sugar 1/2 cup at a time, until all the sugar is mixed in. Turn the mixer up to medium and beat until smooth and creamy. This should take about 5 minutes. If the icing seems too thick to spread then add in half and half cream a tablespoons at a time until you get the consistancy that you want.
