- 1 1/3 c. sugar
- 1 1/3 c. butter, softened
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
Directions
-
Combine milk, flour, and salt in medium saucepan with the heat turned off. Whisk until smooth.
-
Cook over medium-high heat, whisking, until mixture thickens and comes to a boil (about 5-7 min.).
-
Boil for 1 minute then remove from heat.
-
Strain into a medium bowl and cover surface with plastic food wrap to prevent a pudding-like “skin” from forming.
-
Cool to room temperature (about 1 1/2 hours).
-
When flour mixture is cool, beat together sugar, butter and vanilla in large bowl until light and creamy.
-
Adding a dollop at a time, beat in the cooled flour mixture until frosting is creamy and light.
