2 cups flour

Icing:
Beat together the sugar, Crisco, butter and vanilla until mixed thoroughly. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, add the milk and flour. Cook over low heat stirring constantly until thick like a paste (does not easily drop from spoon).
Remove from heat, stirring frequently while cooling to prevent lumping.
