Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
This frosting is fluffy and smooth, it starts by boiling milk and flour together to make a paste and that is whipped into butter to make a frosting that isn't super sweet. A classic topping for red velvet cake.

5 Tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
1 cup sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

(I double this recipe for the three layer red velvet cake.)
Directions:
Directions:
In a saucepan, whisk together the flour and sugar. Add the milk a few tablespoons at a time to get started. Stir until there are no lumps. Once you have a smooth paste, add the remaining milk and stir until combined. Turn on the burner to medium heat. Continue to whisk and cook until the mixture thickens to a paste consistency. You want it to be pretty thick. Keep stirring to prevent burning or get lumps.

Once paste is room temperature or cooler, add butter and vanilla to mixer bowl. Turn on low and stir until smooth. Add flour/milk paste and whip on high for about 10 minutes. Whip a lot of air into it!!
