This frosting recipe is a delightful twist on the classic flour frosting, offering a creamy and fluffy texture with a hint of vanilla.
In a saucepan, whisk together the flour and milk until smooth.
Ensure there are no lumps in the mixture before heating to achieve a smooth consistency.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and starts to bubble.
Keep stirring to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely.
Cover the mixture with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming as it cools.
In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Start mixing at a low speed to avoid sugar splattering.
Add the vanilla extract and salt to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
Gradually add the cooled flour mixture to the butter mixture, one spoonful at a time, beating well after each addition.
Adding the flour mixture slowly helps to maintain the frosting's smooth texture.
Continue beating the frosting until it becomes light and fluffy.
The longer you beat, the fluffier the frosting will become.
Use the frosting immediately or store it as needed.
This frosting is perfect for spreading or piping onto your favorite desserts.
