how to cheat at cooking

Filed under:, , , , — Chris @ 10:45 pm

Helpful howto: ever cooked something and it’s just kinda so-so? Not bad, but not great? Three simple rules. One or more of these is bound to help:

  • Put sugar in it
  • Put porkfat in it
  • Put MSG in it

Thank me later.

Okay, check out this recipe. It’s a basic butter/cream frosting. Here are the ingredients:

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup butter, softened
6-7 cups powdered or confectioner’s sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
6-9 Tbsp. milk
2 tsp. vanilla

And now the instructions:

PREPARATION:
In large bowl, cream butter until very fluffy. Add part of the sugar and salt and beat again. Continue adding sugar and milk in small batches, alternately, beating until very fluffy. Stir in vanilla. Fill and frost cake. If you have leftover frosting, put it between graham crackers for a fabulous after-school snack for your kids (or you!).

P.S. Have fun outliving your kids because they will die of diabetes-related complications at age 15.
