I have been making this recipe for years. I don't know if someone else has the same one, but it is one I came up with when I was first married and I did not care for the store ready-to-spread ones. You can also add food coloring too--I have had some pretty colors with this frosting.

SERVES 12 , 1 for cake or 3 1/4 to 4 dozen cookies (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/4 cup Butter Flavor Crisco
1/4 cup butter, room temperature
1 lb confectioners' sugar
1-2 teaspoon vanilla
milk (enough to use for desired consistency)

Directions

1
Mix Crisco, butter and vanilla together using medium speed on mixer.
2
Add confectioners sugar until blended inches.
3
Add milk, a little bit at a time until you reach the desired consistency you want; creamier for a cake and more liquid for on top of cookies.
4
You don't want it too thin, just eye it up for what you would be using it for.

We make this frosting for our cookies and crescent rolls. It is delicious and reminds me of my Dad's frosting that he made when I was little. Thanks for posting!!!

I thought this was a good recipe. The butter-flavored Crisco adds great depth to the flavor!

Wow! Yummy! Super Easy! I've never made my own frosting before....didn't really think it could be done. Thanks for saving me tons of money for all the future cupcakes and cakes I will have to make for my little boy. Good bye Duncan Hines! P.S. I used 1/4 cup of vegetable oil instead of shortening because I didn't have any of that in my house and it still turned out great.
