ButterCream Icing for Frozen Transfers

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Crisco (Do not use high-ration shortening. You need a stiffer
  • consistency)
  • 3 sticks butter (real butter, good quality)
  • 2 Tsp flavoring (I use 1 Tsp clear vanilla, 1 Tsp butter flavoring)
  • 2* pounds powdered sugar, sifted several times (I sift 5 times)

Instructions

1. Cream the butter and shortening well. 2. Add the flavoring. 3. Slowly add the powdered sugar. 4. Mix on 8-10 speed for approximately 5-10 minutes for a smooth consistency. The length of time depends on the weather/atmosphere at your house. *Add more sugar if not stiff enough. I live in the High Desert of California with no humidity. I had to add more sugar to this recipe while visiting North Carolina.
