Ingredients
- 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)
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.
