by Teralyn Smith
(Brigham City, UT, USA)

1 1/2 cups butter
1/4 cup crisco
1 T Magic line Butter Vanilla Flavoring
2 T water or milk
14 cups powder sugar

cream butter, shortening, water & flavoring together. Add powder sugar. The icing might be thick so continue adding water until the needed consistency. (IF YOU ARE USING MILK THE ICING NEEDS TO BE REFRIGERATED)

Variation: lemon/rum
exchange butter vanilla flavoring for 1/2 t. vanilla, 1/2 t. lemon flavoring (not lemon juice) & 1/4 t. rum flavoring
