Cooked Frosting Flour Frosting Recipes

Steps:

• 1. In a blender, mix the milk and cake flour until blended. (This trick prevents those little flour chunks and blends the milk and flour together nicely). Pour mixture into a small sauce pan. Or, if you don't want to use a blender you can just whisk the cold milk and flour in a small saucepan until well combined. Either way will work.
• 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.
• 6. With a fork, skim off the top dried layer of the cooled milk mixture and discard.
• 7. Add the cooled milk mixture to the powdered sugar mixture in the mixing bowl and beat at high speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes
• 8. Ice the cake!

Steps:

• In a small saucepan blend flour and milk.
• Cook stirring constantly until mixture bubbles.
• Cool.
• In a large bowl, cream shortening, butter and sugar with a mixer until fluffy.
• Add vanilla and salt, blending well.
• On medium speed beat in cooled flour mixture in small portions (teaspoonful at a time), beating well after each addition.
• Continue beating until light and fluffy.

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.

Steps:

• Whisk milk into flour in small saucepan until smooth. Heat and stir until it boils and thickens. Cool thoroughly.
• Cream butter, sugar and vanilla in bowl until light and fluffy. Add thickened milk. Beat until mixture resembles whipped cream. Makes enough to fill and frost 2 layer cake, about 3 1/2 cups.

Steps:

• In saucepan, cook milk, flour and salt until thick.
• Cool well.
• In small mixing bowl add sugar, margarine and shortening.
• Beat well with electric mixer.
• Add flour mixture and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
• Beat until it is fluffy and stiff like whipped cream.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, whisk together flour and milk until smooth. Cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until mixture becomes thick and resembles pudding, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a heat-proof bowl; stir in vanilla and salt. Press plastic wrap against surface; let cool completely.
• Beat butter with sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, scraping down bowl as needed, about 2 minutes. Add milk mixture and continue beating until frosting is light and fluffy and resembles whipped cream, about 2 minutes more. Use immediately.
