Prep Time 5 minutes mins
Total Time 5 minutes mins
5 tablespoons unsalted butter 5 tablespoons shortening 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 cups powdered sugar 2 tablespoons milk
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.
