    Creamy Whipped Icing

    Course Dessert
    Cuisine American

    Ingredients
      

    • 1-1/2 Tbs. cornstarch
    • Dash of salt
    • 3/4 cup milk
    • 3/4 cup granulated sugar superfine, such as C&H Baker’s Sugar, works well
    • 3/4 cup shortening part butter or margarine
    • 1 tsp. vanilla

    Instructions
     

    • In a small saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch, salt and milk. Cook on medium-low heat until smoothly thickened, stirring constantly. Cover and set aside to cool. In a medium mixing bowl with a hand mixer (or a stand mixer and whisk attachment), gradually beat sugar into shortening, creaming until very fluffy (3 to 4 minutes). Gradually add the cooled milk mixture, beating until well-blended. Beat in vanilla. Frosting can be chilled in the refrigerator if it seems too soft to spread.
    • Frosts two 8- or 9-inch layers or one 13-by-9-inch cake.

    Notes

    Tip: Make sure you don’t skimp on the whipping time for the shortening and sugar so that the sugar adequately dissolves in the creaming process.

    “Reading the recipe, it doesn’t sound like it would be good,” my mom says of this frosting recipe. She believes she first made it out of a need to use what she had on hand, or didn’t —powdered sugar. The delicious results were made countless times from then on.
