Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 5 tablespoons shortening
  • 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  • Beat butter and shortening together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
  • The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. I let mine beat for quite awhile.
  • Beat the vanilla extract into the butter mixture. Add sugar, one cup at a time, beating on medium speed until fully incorporated.
  • Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, beating on medium speed until fully incorporated and frosting is nice and smooth.
