Alice's Butter Frosting

Contributed by World Recipes Y-Group

Ingredients

 * 1 cup granulated sugar
 * 1 cup butter flavored Crisco or 2 sticks (¼ lb)
 * ⅔ cup milk
 * 1 tablespoon vanilla

Directions

 * 1) Mix sugar and Crisco together.
 * 2) Heat milk until hot on finger (do not boil)
 * 3) Add half of the milk to sugar - Crisco mixture and beat 2 minutes.
 * 4) Add rest of milk and beat 8 minutes longer (a total of 10 minutes all together).
 * 5) The beating breaks up the sugar granules to a whipped cream consistency, but is a butter type.
 * 6) To make a whipped cream frosting, use white Crisco instead of butter-flavored (I use these often as I don't always have confectioners' sugar on hand)
 * 7) Enjoy.
