Mom’s famous wedding cakes are made with this delicious frosting. It is the best butter cream out there! It is also used to for sugar cookies that are a favorite for Valentines Day, Halloween, and of course Christmas
1 lb. Butter
1 lb. Crisco
4-5 egg whites (or sm. Recipe Meringue powder on can)
1/4 c. granulated sugar
1-2 tsp. White vanilla (brown will work but white keeps icing whiter)
dash of salt
2-3 lbs powdered sugar
Beat egg whites until stiff peaks start to form and then add granulated sugar, set egg whites and sugar aside. In separate bowl beat butter and Crisco until smooth and fluffy. Then start to add powdered sugar and egg whites- alternating until you have proper consistency. You want to add powdered sugar until icing is stiff and doesn’t taste too greasy. Then add a couple dashes of salt and vanilla. Beat for approximately 5 minutes or more after all ingredients have been added. Icing should be fluffy and white. A mixing unit such as a kitchen aid is ideal for this recipe. Hand mixers tend to break dow
