Buttercrean Frosting

Crusting Buttercream
1 bag powder sugar (two pounds or about eight cups)
1 cup shortening (I used original Crisco)
1 tsp vanilla extract (use clear if want white frosting)
1/2 cup – 3/4 cup milk
Cream shortening and vanilla in mixer for 2-4 minutes. Add in powder sugar, one cup at a time. If you find your mixer struggling, slowing add in milk. Use more milk for a creamy consistency, use less milk for a stiff consistency.
This recipe is SWEET.  Super sweet.  If you dont like sweet, simply use less sugar.

This is a photo from a cake made from this frosting.  My next project may need to include this because I am always have problems with the frosting staying in place!
