Butter Cream Frosting
Ingredients;
1 1/2 cups whole milk or 2% (I used skim and it was fine)
7 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, softened (not melted)
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract
Bring milk and flour to a boil in a heavy saucepan over medium heat, whisking constantly to avoid scorching. Cook until mixture thickens into a paste, about 5 mintues. Cool flour mixture completely before using.
Beat butter and salt in a large mixing bowl until combined.
Add sugar and beat until fluffy.
Beat in cooled flour mixture and vanilla extract until well blended and smooth, about 4 minutes. Icing will not be glossy but a bit rough looking. Frost cake or cupcakes and chill until ready to serve (to firm up icing). Store any leftover cake in the refrigerator to keep icing firm.
Icing should resemble loosly mashed potatoes.
Yield; approx 3 1/2 cups
Total time; 15 minutes + cooling
