Ingredients

• 1 1/3 c. milk
• 1/4 c. all purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 1/3 c. sugar
• 1 1/3 c. butter, softened
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions

1. Combine milk, flour, and salt in medium saucepan with the heat turned off. Whisk until smooth.

2. Cook over medium-high heat, whisking, until mixture thickens and comes to a boil (about 5-7 min.).

3. Boil for 1 minute then remove from heat.

4. Strain into a medium bowl and cover surface with plastic food wrap to prevent a pudding-like “skin” from forming.

5. Cool to room temperature (about 1 1/2 hours).

6. When flour mixture is cool, beat together sugar, butter and vanilla in large bowl until light and creamy.

7. Adding a dollop at a time, beat in the cooled flour mixture until frosting is creamy and light.
