Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup butter (room temperature, softened)

• 2 tablespoons milk

Directions:

1. Cream together the butter and shortening. Add in the vanilla.

2. Slowly add in the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time, mixing well between additions.

3. Add in milk and mix well until light and fluffy. Add in food coloring if desired. Keep frosting covered with a towel or plastic wrap until ready to use.
