    Even Better Cooked Flour Frosting

    Recipe by: Leelabean (Inspired by: www.southernfood.about.com)


     
    (Yield: About 3 cups, enough to frost a 2-layer 8″ cake)
     
    3 T flour
    1/2 c 2% milk*
    1/2 c heavy cream*
    1 c granulated sugar

    1 c unsalted butter, room temperature**


    1 t vanilla
    1/4 t salt
    add-in flavors (see below)
     
    *(You may substitute almond milk, coconut milk, or substitute milk for the
    heavy cream. Any milk or combination of milks, adding up to 1 c would
    work, here)
    **(If you substitute vegetable shortening for butter, the resulting frosting will
    hold up excellently in warmer weather, while still remaining light, creamy,
    and satiny. I have used a 50/50 butter to shortening ratio and ended up
    with frosting that easily held up in 90ºF east coast weather. It pipes
    amazingly!)
    In a liquid measuring cup, combine the milk and cream. In a small
    saucepan, pour about 1/4 c of the milk/cream mixture along with the 3 T of
    flour.
    Whisk them together and turn the heat on low, slowly starting to cook it. It
    will begin to thicken.
    As it starts to thicken, add the remaining milk/cream mixture as well as the
    granulated sugar and whisk vigorously to remove any lumps.
    Continue to whisk until the mixture begins to boil. Then cook for an
    additional minute, whisking as you cook. The slurry will thicken a bit.
    To ensure a lump free frosting, or if you found that you couldn’t remove all
    the lumps from your slurry, run your slurry through a sieve.
    Take the slurry off the heat and let sit until cool, covered in plastic wrap to
    prevent any skin from forming. This mixture will be opaque and gelatinous,
    but will still flow. You may refrigerate it to speed up the process.
    When the slurry in completely cooled, whip the butter on medium speed,
    until fluffy.
    Add the slurry and salt and continue to beat until combined. Add the
    vanilla, mix well, and your frosting will be done. Smooth, satiny, perfect…
    every time.
    Additional flavors (Add these flavorings as a final step, after adding
    the vanilla extract):
    Chocolate Cooked Flour Frosting: Add 3 oz chocolate that has been
    melted and cooled for every 1 c of frosting. Blend well. (9 oz of chocolate
    per batch)
    Cream Cheese Cooked Flour Frosting: Add 2 oz cream cheese for every
    1 c of frosting and beat together. (6 oz cream cheese per batch)
    Peanut Butter Cooked Flour Frosting: Add 2-3 T peanut butter for every
    1 c of frosting. Blend well. (6-9 T per batch)
    Nutella Cooked Flour Frosting: Add 2-3 T Nutella for every 1 c of
    frosting. Blend well. (6-9 T per batch)
    Berry Cooked Flour Frosting: Add 2-3 T berry jam for every 1 c of
    frosting. Blend well. (6-9 T per batch)
    Rose-Cardamom Cooked Flour Frosting: Add 3/4 t ground cardamom
    and 1/2 t rose essence per batch. Blend well.
    Vanilla Cinnamon Cooked Flour Frosting: Steep 1 cinnamon stick with
    milk/cream by bringing to a gentle simmer for about 5 minutes. Let cool,
    remove cinnamon stick and use milk/cream as the recipe instructs. When
    blending the flour mixture with the butter, add 1 t vanilla extract and 1 t
    ground cinnamon. Blend well.
    Vegan Cooked Flour Frosting: Replace milk and heavy cream in the
    recipe with an equal amount (1 cup) of any non-dairy milk. Increase the
    sugar to 1 1/2 cups. Replace the butter with vegetable shortening (like
    Crisco).  Add flavorings as suggested above. You can increase the
    sweetness of this frosting by adding maple syrup one tablespoon at a time
    to the finished frosting and mixing well to incorporate. (shown below:
