Fluffy Vanilla Frosting

Sunny Side Up

Ingredients

• 5 Tbsp Flour
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 tsp Vanilla
• 1 cup Butter, softened
• 1 cup Granulated Sugar

Preparation

Step 1

In a saucepan, whisk together the flour and milk and cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens (I would compare it to mashed potatoes). It is very important to whisk continuously so clumps don’t form. This took me about 4-5 minutes, but it’s best to go by texture.

Set milk mixture aside in an ice bath and allow to cool completely.

In a medium bowl, (or bowl of a standing mixture fitted with a whisk) beat together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and beat for 1 minute. Add the cooled milk mixture and beat on high for 3-5 minutes. If it looks separated, keep beating.

At this point you can color as desired with food coloring.
