White Creamy Frosting

White Creamy Frosting

• 1 cup shortening
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 tsp. almond extract

• 4 1/2 c. powdered sugar
• 3 tbsp. milk

• Add shortening, vanilla, and almond extract in a mixing bowl and beat for 30 seconds on medium speed.

• Add half of the powdered sugar and stir into shortening mixture until slightly moistened. After stirring, beat with electric mixer until well blended.

• Add 2 tablespoons of milk to the blended mixture and beat until thoroughly mixed.

• Add the remaining powdered sugar and stir slightly to moisten. Beat with the mixer until well blended.

• Mix in half of the remaining milk and blend. If frosting is not at a spreadable consistency, add the remaining milk. If the frosting is still not at the desired consistency, add more milk, adding a teaspoon at a time and blending with mixer after each addition. Be sure the frosting is not too stiff so that it will spread easily.
• Once the frosting is the desired consistency, it is ready for spreading or for decorating.
