How to make it

  • Let your cupcakes (or cake) cool completely before frosting.
  • Pour 5 tablespoons of flour into 1 cup of milk.
  • After adding the flour, whisk it together until combined, then place the saucepan over medium heat. Whisk it as it heats up and thickens, and stop when the mixture is very thick.
  • Cool the mixture completely. The mixture will be very, very thick.
  • Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla to the cooled flour/milk mixture. Stir it around to combine; set aside.
  • Pour one cup of sugar into a bowl with one cup of butter. Whip it around until it’s light and fluffy, scraping the bowl once or twice to make sure it’s all mixed well. Add the cooled flour/milk/vanilla mixture. Make sure it’s NOT the least bit warm! Whip it on medium-high until the mixture resembled whipped cream. About 45 seconds of heavy beating (you don't want to break it down by over beating it).
  • Frost the cupcakes or cake with a butter knife or a spatula. Decorate how you choose.
