Recipe Introduction
Posted by: PalmSpringsGirl
List of Ingredients
2 cups milk
6 T. flour
2 cups COLD unsalted butter
2 cups granulated sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
Recipe
Whisk to combine in a heavy-bottomed pan, the milk and flour. Stir constantly over medium-low heat, until smooth and thick (about 12-18 min.) Let mixture cool. Stir frequently so it doesn't form a skin on top. If it should, remove it and discard. While cooling, use an electric mixer on medium-high speed to beat the cold butter and sugar until fluffy, 4-5 minutes.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. The long beating is what makes this so light and fluffy. Add the vanilla. Add the cooled cooked mixture, one third at a time. Beat well after each addition. Beat another 3 minutes until it is like whipped cream.
This frosting is just out of this world. Good to use on other cakes as well. Do not refrigerate the cake. This frosting does not need refrigeration, nor will it be as good if you do.
