Old Fashioned 300 Hundred Dollar Frosting Recipe

Here is how to make homemade old fashioned 300 hundred dollar cooked frosting recipe with flour and milk very easily! Please keep in mind that this amount is for a double batch to use on a two-layer cake or large amount of cookies (2 dozen+), etc. If you are making a single layer cake, then simply cut the amount of ingredients in half. This is a recipe that my mother used with her famous banana pecan cake!

Gather all of your vanilla icing ingredients:

2 cups whole or 2% milk, or coconut milk for non-dairy
8 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups (4 sticks) unsalted real dairy butter, at room temperature
2 cups granulated sugar, not powdered confectioners sugar!
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Begin by whisking together the milk, flour, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk the mixture constantly while cooking, for 5 minutes, or until no lumps remain and the mixture thickens, resembling a smooth pudding. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar on medium-high speed using a stand or hand mixer until creamy and silky. There should be no grittiness left in the mixture. Stop the mixer and use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl. Add the cooled milk mixture to the bowl. Beat on a high speed until the frosting is light and fluffy (about 4-6 minutes). Add the vanilla extract and mix on high for another 4-6 minutes, or until the frosting is very light and fluffy. You can store any leftover icing in a covered container in the fridge for 7-10 days. It cannot be frozen. This is the BEST cooked frosting for piping onto cupcakes as it is quite stable! Servings: 10-14.
