Categories: Filling/Frosting

Ingredients

• 5 Tbsp. flour
• 1 c. milk
• 2 sticks salted butter
• 1 c. sugar
• 1-2 tsp. vanilla

Directions

1. Whisk the flour and milk together in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring until it starts to thicken. Cook 1-2 minutes more. Turn into a dish and let cool.

2. Beat together the butter and sugar, then beat in the cooled roux 2 Tbsp. at a time.

3. Continue to beat until frosting turns creamy rather than grainy. This takes a while – probably 6 to 10 minutes.

4. Add vanilla and mix until light and creamy. Frost immediately.
