Basic Buttercream Frosting

3½ c. unsifted powdered sugar ~ store brands work best
½ c. Crisco shortening
¼ c. water or milk
½ t. vanilla
½ t. lemon extract ~ do not use lemon juice
pinch of salt

Mix all ingredients together until well mixed. Frosting should be fairly stiff. If too soft, add some more powdered sugar.
