Heirloom Frosting Under Fondant?

Sorry, some people also know it as flour frosting. This is the original type frosting people used on red velvet cake before cream cheese frosting became so popular with it. Found this recipe on CC.
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
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.
I used it under fondant on the giant cupcake cake in my photos... I didn't have any problems, but it was eaten within 8 hours of finishing it, so I'm not sure how it would do long term...
