Vanilla Buttercream Frosting

Ingredients

• 1 cup milk
• 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Stir milk and flour together in a saucepan over low heat; cook, stirring constantly, until thick, about 5 minutes. Cool mixture in refrigerator until cold to the touch, about 15 minutes.

Beat butter, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until light and fluffy.

Stir cooled milk until smooth. Slowly beat into the butter mixture until frosting is of a spreadable consistency. For a thicker icing, you may not need the entire milk mixture.
