1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. Crisco
1 c. granulated sugar
3/4 c. evaporated milk
1 tbsp. vanilla extract

Cream butter 5 minutes on medium speed, add shortening and beat, add sugar and continue beating. Finally, add milk and vanilla, scraping bottom and sides of bowl. The longer you beat the mixture the creamier it will become.

This recipe makes a very soft filling, similar to that found in Twinkies and other snack foods. The cream filling will store for up to one month in the refrigerator.
