1/4 cup white Crisco
1/4 cup margarine
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. vanilla
1/8 to 1/4 tsp. almond extract
1/4 cup water
4 cups powdered sugar
Mix shortening, margarine, water, vanilla, almond extract, and half of the powdered sugar with a mixer for 5-10 minutes (it's very important to mix this long). Add the rest of the powdered sugar and beat just enough to mix in (I always have to add more than the remaining 2 cups to get the right consistancy). Add additional water if needed.
This has quickly become my usual frosting, it tastes just like a bakery frosting! I made this frosting with boxed cake mixes for my daughter's two Veggie Tales themed birthday parties.
