How to Make Poor Man's Cooked Frosting
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and pour into a medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Let cool completely to room temperature (approximately 30 minutes).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened margarine, 1/2 cup of shortening, and 3 cups of granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the cooled flour mixture to the creamed mixture, beating on low speed until just combined.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Beat on high speed for another 2-3 minutes, or until the frosting is light, fluffy, and holds stiff peaks, similar to whipped cream.
