Alice's Butter Frosting

Alice's Butter Frosting

1     cup           granulated sugar 1     cup           butter flavored Crisco or 2 sticks -- (1/4 lb 2/3  cup           milk 1      tablespoon    vanilla

Mix sugar and Crisco together. Heat milk until hot on finger. (Do not boil.) Add half of the milk to sugar - Crisco mixture and beat 2 minutes. Add rest of milk and beat 8 minutes longer (a total of 10 minutes all together). The beating breaks up the sugar granules to a whipped cream consistency, but is a butter type.

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.)

Enjoy.
