home made vanilla frosting

By pamdabear3383

Ingredients

• 3 T Flour
• 1/2 C milk
• 1/2 C real butter
• 1/2 C granulated sugar
• 1 t vanilla extract, or other flavor if you wish.

Preparation

Step 1

Whisk together the milk and flour in a small saucepan over medium heat. Keep whisking until it starts to thicken. Keep cooking until it looks like pudding.

After it looks like pudding take it off the burner. I put mine in a bowl and stuck it in the freezer for 20 or so minutes until it was completely cool. You can also stick it in the fridge for a little while. It needs to cool completely though.

In a stand mixer & the whisk attachment, cream together butter & sugar for a few minutes it should be mixed together and fluffy. Add the milk mixture and whatever flavoring you want. You want to mix this on the highest setting you can without spraying the mixture everywhere for about 7 or 8 minutes maybe longer. It should come out smooth and fluffy. One batch should cover about 12 cupcakes so I double this recipe all the time.

You don't want to store these in the fridge when cupcakes are frosted. Store them at room temperature covered. Good luck!
