The Best Vanilla Butter Frosting You've Ever Had

1. 1

   Combine milk and flour in a sauce pan.

2. 2

   Whisk them together until well combined.

3. 3

   Heat until the mixture thickens stirring continuously and it will be thick, thick, thick.

4. 4

   Let the frosting cool completely.

5. 5

   This is important!

6. 6

   If you are in a hurry, place the sauce pan over a bed of ice in the sink (about 10 minutes).

7. 7

   Once the flour/milk mixture has cooled add the vanilla and stir well.

8. 8

   Using a mixer, beat the sugar and butter together.

9. 9

   I scrape the side of the bowl several times and beat some more (about two times).

10. 10

    Now add the flour/milk/vanilla mixture to the mixing bowl.

11. 11

    Beat the crap out of it until it resembles whipped cream.

12. 12

    You don't want any sugar graininess in the frosting.

13. 13

    In the blog, several reviews stated they had a hard time getting the graininess out.

14. 14

    I haven't had that problem.

15. 15

    Somehow after I add the flour mixture it magically goes away.

16. 16

    Frost your delicious chocolate cake or cake of your choosing and do the taste test.

17. 17

    Take a moment and enjoy this new found greatness.
