My Favorite Cooked Icing

3/4 cup white sugar

3 Tbl. flour

3/4 cup milk

1 whole egg, beaten

1/2 cup crisco

1/2 cup butter

2 tsp. vanilla

Cook sugar, flour, milk, and egg till thick over low-medium heat.  Watch so you don't burn mixture, it can scorch fast!

Cool completely.

Beat crisco and butter thoroughly; add cooled mixture and vanilla and beat till light and fluffy. This is great on chocolate cake or my dump pineapple cake!

So sorry! Cook probably low-med. heat. Watch it because it can scorch fast !

3/4 cup milk  of milk

Thanks Cindy- I'll have to put you on the payroll.  I"ll look up a great pineapple cake that's great with this icing.
