PREPARATION:
Ready to whip up this dreamy, silky frosting? Follow these easy steps:
Step 1: Make the Cooked Milk Base
In a small saucepan, whisk together the milk and flour until smooth.
Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency (about 5–7 minutes). It should coat the back of a spoon.
Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely. You can speed up the process by transferring it to a bowl and placing it in the refrigerator.
Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3–5 minutes).
Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, and beat until fully incorporated.
Step 3: Combine the Base and Butter Mixture
Once the cooked milk base has cooled completely, gradually add it to the butter mixture, one tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition.
Continue beating the frosting for 5–7 minutes, or until it’s light, fluffy, and spreadable.
Step 4: Frost Your Cake
Use the frosting immediately to frost your favorite cake or cupcakes. Spread it evenly with a spatula or pipe it for a decorative touch.
Enjoy !
