How to Make Fluff Frosting

  1. In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup half-and-half over medium heat until the mixture thickens to a smooth consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Remove from heat and set aside to cool completely. This prevents the frosting from becoming oily.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, and 1/2 cup shortening until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
  4. Gradually add 3 cups powdered sugar, beating on low speed until combined. Then increase speed to medium-high and beat for another 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add the cooled flour mixture and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract to the creamed butter mixture.
  6. Beat on medium-high speed for another 3-5 minutes, until the frosting is incredibly light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  7. Add gel food coloring (optional) and beat until evenly distributed.
