2 1/2 tbsp. flour
1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. Crisco
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Gradually add milk to flour in small saucepan. Heat over low flame until thick paste. Cool. Put Crisco, sugar and salt in small bowl. Add cooled paste. Beat at high speed until light and fluffy, 3-5 minutes. Add vanilla. (The more you beat it, the fluffier it gets.)

Can be used as filling for layer cakes or as frosting. Any unused portion may be stored in refrigerator in covered dish.
