How to Make Flour Frosting
- In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1 cup whole milk until smooth.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely. Cover the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup softened shortening and 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. This will take about 3-5 minutes.
- Gradually add 3 cups powdered sugar, beating on low speed until combined. Then increase the speed to medium and beat for another 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Beat until well combined.
- With the mixer on medium speed, gradually add the cooled flour mixture to the creamed mixture in small amounts, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Continue beating until the frosting is light, fluffy, and smooth. If it seems too thick, you can add a tablespoon or two of milk to thin it to your desired consistency.
- Frost your baked goods and enjoy!
