Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup butter flavored Crisco or 2 sticks -- (1/4 lb
2/3 cup milk
1 tablespoon vanilla

Mix sugar and Crisco together. Heat milk until hot on finger. (Do not boil.)
Add half of the milk to sugar - Crisco mixture and beat 2 minutes. Add rest of
milk and beat 8 minutes longer (a total of 10 minutes all together). The beati
ng breaks up the sugar granules to a whipped cream consistency, but is a butter
type.

To make a whipped cream frosting, use white Crisco instead of butter-flavored.
(I use these often as I don't always have confectioners sugar on hand.)
