The old Gary Cooper movie, Sgt. York, is a family favorite with our entire team. In one scene Ma asks the blessing and says, "Lord bless these vittles we done got...". Hence, the name of our recipe collection.

Grandma Durst's Chocolate Frosting

1/4 C. butter, softened 

2-3 C. powdered sugar
6 TB cocoa
3 TB evaporated milk
2 tsp. vanilla

Combine the powdered sugar and cocoa. Beat in softened butter and milk. Add additional evaporated milk until desired consistency is reached. Stir in vanilla.

Mommy usually double this to frost a cake. We need leftovers for graham crackers- our all time favorite way to consume this delicious treat! :)  Hannah has mastered the art of making a white cake and this frosting.  She has quite the reputation at Veritas Baptist Church and there are some folks who request that she make this on a regular basis.  
Love Always,
Mommy
