Ingredients

  • 1cupmilk

  • ¼cupall-purpose flour

  • 1cupunsalted butter, softened

  • 1cupwhite sugar

  • 1teaspoonvanilla extract

Cooking Directions

  1. Whisk milk and flour together in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until mixture starts to thicken, 4 to 5 minutes. Then, whisk vigorously until mixture is lump-free, creamy, sticky, and significantly thicker, 2 to 3 more minutes; it may appear to ball up. Immediately remove from the heat and transfer to a plate; let cool to room temperature.

  2. While the milk mixture is cooling, beat butter and sugar in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer for at least 10 minutes. Mixture should be very fluffy; you may need to mix for 5 more minutes. Gradually mix in cooled milk mixture on high speed; continue to mix until fluffy and smooth. Mix in vanilla.

  3. Cover and refrigerate until frosting reaches a spreading consistency, about 30 minutes.

Editor’s Note:

Some reviewers have suggested processing the sugar in a high-powered blender before using in Step 2.
