In a mixing bowl, combine the vegetable shortening and powdered sugar.

Using an electric mixer or whisk, blend the mixture until it’s smooth and fluffy.

Gradually add the milk to the mixture while mixing continuously.

Pour in the vanilla extract and mix well.

Add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.

If the frosting is too thick, add more milk, one teaspoon at a time.

Continue mixing until the frosting is fluffy and light.

Spread your frosting on your favorite cake or cupcakes immediately, or store in an airtight container.
