My grandmothers recipe for homemade icing

Putting this out into the world because it’s simply amazing! My fathers side of the family uses my grandmothers boiled icing recipe for every cake, and it’s delicious.

It wasn’t easy to get the recipe! My grandmother is a little bit petty and won’t give the totally correct recipe unless she really likes you 😂

You take 5 Tbsp flour and 1 cup whole milk

stir together on the stove on low/ low med heat until it becomes thickened. The trick is to keep stirring. One this step is done, let this mixture cool completely.

While the first mixture is cooling, In a separate bowl combine 1 cup sugar, 1 cup butter, and 1 tsp of vanilla and beat until creamy.

Once the first mixture is cooled, combine both mixtures and beat until fluffy! I find the icing best tasting after being refrigerated for a bit.
