Pre-Notes

    This is the icing recipe that my mother used to make. It is very creamy and not too sugary! It is delicous!

    It makes enough to frost 12 large cupcakes.

    Dudt's Bakery used a similar recipe, with the following proportions: 1 c milk, 3 T flour, 1/2 c Crisco, 1/2 c butter, 1 c sugar, 1 t vanilla.

  3. 1/4 c solid Crisco shortening
  4. 1/4 c butter, softened
  5. 1/2 c sugar
  6. 1 t vanilla
  7. 1 oz unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled

Instructions

  1. In small saucepan, cook milk and flour together, until it forms a paste; set aside to cool.
  2. In medium bowl, beat Crisco and butter, until fluffy.
  3. Add sugar, chocolate, and vanilla, beat at high speed for 2 minutes.
  4. Add cooled flour mixture, beat at high speed . until sugar dissolves, approximately 5 minutes.
