Miracle Frosting: The Perfect Fluffy Topping for Any Dessert

 

Ingredients

1 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup whole milk

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Base

Mix Dry Ingredients:

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar and flour.

Add Milk:

Gradually whisk in the milk until the mixture is smooth and lump-free.

Step 2: Cook the Base

Cook:

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil. This will take about 5-7 minutes.

Cool:

Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature. To speed up the cooling process, you can place the saucepan in a shallow ice water bath, stirring occasionally.

Step 3: Whip the Frosting

Cream Butter:

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Combine:

Gradually add the cooled milk mixture to the butter, beating on medium speed. The frosting should start to come together and become fluffy.

Add Flavor:

Mix in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Continue beating until the frosting is light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.

Step 4: Frost Your Dessert

Frost:

Use the Miracle Frosting to frost cakes, cupcakes, or any other dessert. It spreads easily and holds its shape well, making it perfect for piping decorations.
