1 cup whipping cream
Dash of salt
Rounded 1/3 cup flour, sifted
1 cup butter, soft
1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar, 2 for a stiffer frosting
2 teaspoons vanilla

Mix cream, flour and salt until lumps are dissolved. Cook over medium heat while stirring continually with a wood spoon. Cook this mixture until thickened and it forms a paste like ball which pulls away from the sides of the pan easily. Allow the paste mixture to cool.

After the paste is cooled, whip. Add the butter and whip together.

Add sugar and continue whipping. Add the vanilla and beat well.
