HOMEMADE VANILLA FROSTING (FROM
SCRATCH)
 
1 cup milk
3 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening (I use Crisco)
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla

Cook first 2 ingredients till thick, let cool completely.

Add the next 4 ingredients and beat with hand mixer till creamy (usually takes a good 10 minutes).

This frosting is not too sweet. Delicious on chocolate and yellow cake!

This frosting took me about 8 minutes with my hand mixer to get perfectly fluffy. Easy enough for me to wean myself off store-bought frostings!
