Ingredients

  • 1 lb. high ratio shortening
  • 2 lb. 10x powdered sugar
  • 1/4 C milk
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla – clear
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Directions

Mix the sugar, milk, vanilla, salt and half of the shortening for 5 minutes at low speed and 2 minutes
at medium speed. Add the remainder of the shortening and mix for 2 minutes at medium speed
and continue mixing for another 5 minutes at low speed until light, fluffy and smooth.

This is a great decorator icing. It uses high ratio shortening instead of a regular shortening, so it
has a creamy consistency and is stiff but also nice and fluffy. It tastes great too!
