Heirloom Frosting

This is a cooked flour frosting, traditionally found with Waldorf Astoria Red Velvet Cake, but it is good with many cakes.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 tbsp flour
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup sugar

Instructions

  1. Whisk 4 tbsp of flour into 1 cup of milk. Cook over low heat until very thick. Cool completely.
    Cream 1 cup of sugar with 1 cup of room temperature butter. (Really mix these together, at least 3-5 minutes or more.)
    Add cooked flour mixture, and beat until fluffy. It will look like whipped cream.
