The Best Frosting Ive Ever Had Recipes

THAT'S THE BEST FROSTING I'VE EVER HAD

Steps:

• 1. In a small saucepan, whisk flour into milk, stirring constantly, until it thickens. You want it to be very thick, thicker than cake mix, more like a brownie mix is. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature. It must be completely cool before you use it in the next step. Stir in vanilla.
• 2. While the mixture is cooling, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. You don't want any sugar graininess left. Then add the completely cooled milk/flour/vanilla mixture and beat the living daylights out of it. If it looks separated you haven't beaten it enough! Beat it until it all combines and resembles whipped cream.
• 3. Now it's ready to spread on a cooled cake. Enjoy!
• 4. (My own suggestions: Let the sticks of butter soften somewhat before you start creaming with the sugar and use a deep bowl. I had butter chips flying everywhere. And use a non-stick saucepan. The flour/milk mixture came right out.)

THE BEST FROSTING I'VE EVER HAD

Steps:

• Bake your favorite chocolate cake (or whatever you want to frost!) and let it cool.
• In a small saucepan, whisk flour into milk and heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature. (If I'm in a hurry, I place the saucepan over ice in the sink for about 10 minutes or so until the mixture cools.) Stir in vanilla.
• While the mixture is cooling, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Then add the cooled milk/flour/vanilla mixture and beat until it all combines and resembles whipped cream.
• Grab a spoon and taste this wonderful goodness. If there is any left after your taste test, spread it on a cooled chocolate cake. Cut yourself a piece and put it on a pretty plate. Grab a fork and prepare to experience the most divine pairing you can imagine. This frosting on chocolate cake is to die for. Sure, the recipe sounds strange - it has flour in it - but it's sublime. Try it, you'll see. You'll love it so much you won't go back.

OLD FASHIONED FROSTING

Steps:

• STEP ONE: sift the flour.
• Pour milk into a jar and add the sifted flour.
• Shake hard for 1-1/2 minutes.
• Pour into pan and stir CONSTANTLY over medium-medium high heat with a wire whisk paste will thicken as you cook, the thicker the better (it may boil, then you know it's just about done). Remove from heat and immediately cover paste with wax paper so the paper just slightly touches the top of the mixture.
• Make sure it is covered completely.
• Quickly put it in the refrigerator until cool (about 2 hours).
• STEP 2: Cream butter for a while before adding sugar.
• Add sugar and mix until it is no longer grainy.
• SLOWLY add the refrigerated paste, one spoonful at a time.
• Mix in vanilla.
