Recipe View 3 mins Add the cooled flour-milk paste and vanilla extract to the mixer bowl. Beat on medium-high speed until the frosting is light, airy, and thoroughly combined. (Mixing time: ~2-3 minutes)

For the best texture, ensure the milk-flour paste is completely cooled before incorporating it into the frosting.
If the frosting appears curdled, continue beating for a few more minutes. It should eventually smooth out.
This frosting can be flavored with other extracts, such as almond or lemon, or with a pinch of citrus zest.

    This frosting is amazing! So light and fluffy, and not too sweet. It was the perfect complement to my angel food cake.

    The tip about covering the paste while cooling is crucial! It prevented a skin from forming, and the frosting turned out perfectly smooth.

    I added a little lemon zest, and it gave the frosting a wonderful bright flavor!
