Professional Decorators' Icing - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb sifted powdered sugar
1 tablespoon meringue powder
1 cup Crisco
3 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preparation

Combine the shortening, water and vanilla. This will take some time to mix up but it will eventually.
Add the meringue powder and powdered sugar.
Mix well - beat for about 3 minutes
If this is way too stiff you can add a little water at a time. Just remember you want this to be a little thick so you can spread it.
