| Salt | 0.5 oz |
| Water | 1 lb/12 oz |

Process: Weigh dry ingredients and shortening into mixing bowl. With mixer running on low speed, gradually add one-third of the water and mix 4 minutes with paddle attachment. Slowly add remaining water and flavor while mixing at low speed. Continue mixing 4 minutes. Scrape down mixing bowl and continue mixing about 10 minutes or until desired smoothness is obtained. A higher speed can be used at this stage to produce a lighter icing.
Note: Nonfat milk solids, 4 ounces per batch, can be added at the first stage to produce a faster drying icing.
