Here's my favorite white icing, it tastes like whipped cream IMO.

2 Tbs. flour

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup crisco

1/2 teaspoon. Vanilla

Cook flour and milk, cook till thick, and then cool

Mix sugar, Crisco and vanilla, beat till fluffy, then mix in cooled flour mixture and beat again.

You may may want to double recipe.

The reason that I like it is that it is not as sweet. I don't refrigerate it. I used to work with a lady many many years ago, she was my " grandma " and she made the most amazing chocolate cake. She would always make it with peanut butter icing, which I don't care for, so for my birthday she made this icing. When .I make it I always think of my friend Mrs J.

I like to make the cooked frosting with flour also, it kind of reminds me of the filling in a Hostess cupcake. Wisk 5 tbsp. flour with 1 cup milk in a saucepan on the stove. Cook while stirring till the flour mixture gets very thick, like paste. Take off the stove and let cool to room temp, which doesn't take to long. I use a stand mixer to cream 1 cup butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until fluffy, then add 1 teasp vanilla and the flour milk mixture. Continue to beat the mixture until it gets fluffy like a whipped cream consistency, this will take a few minutes. This frosting is so good and no need to refrigerate it. Holds up very well.

Duncan Hines or Betty Crocker prepared icings in different flavors. I would so take a short cut, but I'm not an icing lover. Presonally, I prefer a quality cream cheese frosting with less sugar than most recipes call for. I would top with different things from the sprinkle section. Kids LOVE SPRINKLES! The icing is mearly a material for attaching the sprinkles. Kids also don't care what kind of icing it is, just that is the socially acceptable drug called sugar!

I make this one too, although when I first saw the list of ingredients I almost passed over it. You think that it can't possibly make a decent icing, but it does.

I've made the cooked whipped cream icing for years. Got the recipe from my Great Aunt many, many years ago. However, I found this shortcut, whip cream tasting recipe a few years ago in a Sandra Lee magazine and think it's great, too.

1 stick of butter (I use unsalted), softened.

1 cup powdered sugar

MIX with electric mixer until smooth and fluffy.

ADD 1-8oz Cool Whip, defrosted.

BEAT until thickened and smooth.

I know this as the recipe for Twinkie Filling. In fact, with the addition of Almond Extract, I made it this afternoon (doubled) for filling to go between two Devil's Food Cake layers.

Edited to add: I just checked, and my Twinkie Filling also calls for an equal (to the Crisco) amount of butter.

@SharkE I'm not familiar with your references, but get your gist nonetheless.

I also use an equal amount of unsalted butter. Have been making it for many years but never connected it with Twinkies - have always called it French Buttercream.

@IamMrsG @dfyre

So you have 1/2 cup crisco and one stick of butter?
