COOKED FROSTING (FLOUR FROSTING)

Steps:

• 1. In a sauce pan, combine the flour and milk. Stirring constantly over medium heat, blend and stir until very thick. This is going to take some time. Do it slowly so it does not boil or even bubble. It should be thick enough that in mounds in the middle. A bit thicker then pudding consistency. Allow this to cool on its own. Do not refrigerate! Cool it till you can hold the pan. (room temperature)
• 2. While waiting for the flour/milk to cool, get out your Kitchen Aid. You can use a hand mixer, but you will be blending for at least 10 minutes so be prepared to get an arm work out! In the Kitchen aid, add sugar, vanilla and butter. Whip it for a good 10 minutes until there is not a trace of graininess of the sugar. If you are unsure, blend it some more. You want this velvet smooth.
• 3. When milk/flour mixture is cooled off, add to the Kitchen aid with the sugar mixture. Again, you are going to whip this.... whip it good! Let it whip on high, scraping as needed, for a good 10-15 minutes. It will be the fluffiest, creamiest frosting ever!
• 4. Perfect for Red Velvet cake, or any cup cake or cake needing an excellent white frosting. NOTE: If you frost a cake and then put it in the refrigerator, be aware that this frosting will harden just a bit. No worries, just take out the cake about 15 minutes before slicing.

• 2. Turn the stove to medium heat, and whisk the mixture CONSTANTLY until slightly thick. (It should look like the consistency of pudding). This can take approx. 5-8 minutes.
• 3. When mixture has become slightly thick, set aside to cool completely at room temperature. This takes an approximately an hour. Note: (If you continue on to make the icing before it is COMPLETELY cooled, or ice the cake while it is still warm, the icing will not be fluffy. It will be a thin icing that does not resemble white fluffy icing at all. :(
• 4. In a mixing bowl, cream the Crisco and butter until combined.
• 5. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla and beat for about a 2 minutes.
