1 (2 lb.) bag confectioners' sugar
1 cup regular Crisco shortening
1 tbsp. meringue powder
2 tsp. clear vanilla
2 tsp. butter flavoring
1/2 tsp. almond flavoring
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup water (or milk)

Cream shortening. Add 1/2 bag of powdered sugar slowly. Combine all wet ingredients. Add salt. Pour in half wet mixture. Add remaining sugar, then remainder of wet. Beat at medium speed for 2 to 5 minutes. Milk would be fine but water is great and icing can set out at room temperature. Color as desired.
