Polish Family Buttercream Frosting Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup flour
• 2/3 cup white sugar (not confectioners)
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 lb. butter
• 1-2 tsp. vanilla
• Cream cheese (optional)

Instructions:

1. Cook 1/4 cup flour and 1 cup of milk on a low heat, whisking constantly until all lumps have disappeared and the mixture has turned to a thick paste. Set aside until fully cooled.
2. Cream 1/2 butter and 2/3 cup sugar until you have a smooth, creamy yellow whipped consistency. Add small teaspoons of paste and mix with the butter mixture until all the paste has been added. Add 1-2 tsp. of vanilla. The final texture should be lighter than traditional buttercream frosting and only moderately sweet.
3. Option: You can also add softened cream cheese at the end to change the flavor.
