INGREDIENTS

  • Base Ingredients

    • 🥛 1 cup milk
    • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
    • 🧈 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 🧂 1 cup white sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

STEPS

1

Whisk milk and flour together in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until mixture starts to thicken, about 4 to 5 minutes. Then whisk vigorously until lump-free, creamy, sticky, and significantly thicker, about 2 to 3 minutes.

2

Immediately remove from the heat and transfer to a plate; let cool to room temperature.

3

While the milk mixture is cooling, beat butter and sugar in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer for at least 10 minutes until very fluffy. You may need to mix for an additional 5 minutes for desired texture.

4

Gradually mix in the cooled milk mixture on high speed; continue to mix until fluffy and smooth. Then mix in vanilla extract.

5

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