How to Make Flour Frosting Red Velvet Cake Frosting
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt until thoroughly combined.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup whole milk. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture barely simmers and slightly thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
- Pour the warm mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Beat on high speed until the outside of the bowl is cool to the touch (about 5-7 minutes).
- Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened.
- Once the butter is fully incorporated, increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat until the frosting is light, fluffy, and completely smooth (about 3-5 minutes), scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- If desired, add gel or paste food coloring and beat until the color is evenly distributed.
- Frost your cake or cupcakes immediately. If refrigerating, bring to room temperature and re-whip if separated before serving.
