#1601 - Buttercream Frosting

(by Shirley McNevich)

1/2 cup Crisco solid shortening
1 stick softened butter
2 tsp. vanilla
4 cups Domino's powdered sugar
1 or 2 TBSP milk

In a mixer add Crisco, butter and vanilla--beat. Slowly add powdered sugar--beat. Add 1 TBSP milk--beat for 3 minutes. Test the consistency--if too thick add another TBSP of milk and beat for 3 more minutes. For chocolate buttercream frosting, add 1 TBSP of Hershey's cocoa at a time and beat--taste the frosting. Continue adding 1 TBSP of Hershey's cocoa at a time and beat between additions until it has the amount of chocolate flavor you like.
