Total Time: 53 minutes
Prep Time: 45 minutes
Cook Time: 8 minutes
Yield: 1 cake π°
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup milk π₯
- 1-2 cups flour
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup Crisco shortening
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Base: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, flour, and salt. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens into a smooth paste. This usually takes about 8 minutes. Once thickened, remove from heat and transfer the mixture to a bowl. Allow it to cool completely in the refrigerator. This base will serve as the foundation for our luscious frosting.
-
Cream the Shortening: Once the milk-flour mixture has cooled, it’s time to prepare the frosting. In a mixing bowl, cream together the Crisco shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. This can be done using a hand mixer or a stand mixer for best results.
-
Add Flavor: After the shortening and sugar are well combined, add in the vanilla extract. Continue to beat the mixture at high speed until the vanilla is fully incorporated and the frosting is smooth and airy. This step adds a delightful hint of vanilla flavor that complements any dessert beautifully.
-
Final Touches: Your frosting is now ready to use! If not using immediately, store it in the refrigerator until needed. When ready to use, simply take it out and give it a quick whip with a mixer to restore its fluffy texture.
Serving Suggestions:
- Spread generously over your favorite cake or cupcakes for a heavenly finishing touch.

- Get creative and add food coloring to customize the frosting for any occasion or theme.
