My mother in law gave me this recipe. She has been making it for 40 years! I use it for all of my cakes, I can't stand regular icing. This icing is not too sweet or buttery. This icing does best if cake is kept in the fridge. Ingredients:
5 tablespoons flour |
1/2 lb butter (do not use margarine) |
1 cup milk |
1 cup powdered sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Mix the flour and milk in a small saucepan.
2. Over medium heat bring to a slow boil while stirring constantly (use a wisk).
3. Boil until thick, remove from heat, place pan in refrigerator.
4. While boiled mixture is cooling, using mixer cream together butter, powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
5. When boiled mixture is completely cool add to butter mixture and beat until very fluffy and thick.
