Quick Vanilla Frosting

SUBMITTED BY: Gary  PHOTO BY: Jayme 

"This recipe is at least 90 years old, my grandmother says they used it a lot during the depression. Also, you can substitute lemon. almond or whatever for the vanilla if you're so inclined, but I like vanilla the best. It's also fat free."
