Steps

1

In a small saucepan, combine milk and flour and bring to a boil, whisking constantly.
2

Continue whisking over medium/low heat until mixture thickens and becomes difficult to stir.
3

Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. This step works well when done right after the cake or cupcakes go into the oven.
4

In a bowl, cream together butter, sugar, and vanilla. Don't rush this, beat the mixture for at least 5 minutes.
5

Add half of the cooled thickened milk and beat for 4 minutes.
6

Add in the rest of the thickened milk and beat for another 4 minutes. Finished product should resemble thick whipped cream.
7

Makes about 3 1/2 cups of frosting. You can also add cinnamon or cocoa powder to the butter/sugar mix for different flavours.
