How to Make Astoria Frosting
- In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt until completely smooth.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a whisk, until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat and pour into a bowl. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Let cool completely.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 3 cups powdered sugar until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes) using an electric mixer.
- Gradually beat in the cooled flour mixture, mixing until completely smooth and well combined.
- Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until incorporated.
- Frost your favorite cake! This frosting is perfect for layer cakes and cupcakes.
