(from Beckshe’s recipe box)

Source: Cookie Madness

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.
