Vanilla Frosting

* An easy way to sift a dry ingredient is to place it in a bowl and stir with a wire whisk.
Beat shortening and vanilla first, for about 30 seconds.
Add 2 cups of sugar slowly while mixing.
Add 2 tablespoons of milk. Continue to mix.
Add the rest of the sugar.
Add the rest of the milk.
