Crazy vanilla bean frosting
Author: 
 
This frosting is crazy because it uses a cooked milk and flour mixture as a key element.
Ingredients
  • 5 tablespoons flour
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 1 vanilla bean
  • 1 cup of butter (2 sticks), room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (not powdered)
Instructions
  1. Put the milk in a small pot and scrape the vanilla bean seeds into it along with the pod. Let sit for up to a half hour. Add the flour to the vanilla and milk and heat to a simmer whisking constantly. Allow the mixture to thicken (it will look like a paste). Let cool completely. In a medium mixing bowl, cream the sugar and butter until light in color and not grainy in texture. Add the flour mixture (remove pod) and beat on medium high for 5 minutes or more. You want it to resemble very stuff whipped cream. It is so delicious, it is hard to describe. The end! <3
