How to Make Baker's Frosting
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 2 cups milk.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil. This will take about 8-10 minutes. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the pan.
- Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely. This is crucial for a smooth frosting. About 20-25 minutes.
- Add 4 cups powdered sugar, 1 cup shortening, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the cooled mixture.
- Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until the frosting is light, fluffy, and completely smooth. Add more powdered sugar, one tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
