By scratch cook

Ingredients

• 1 cup whipping cream
• dash of salt
• 1/3 cup rounded flour, sifted
• 1 cup butter, soft
• 1 cup sifted confectioners sugar, 2 for a stiffer frosting
• 2 teaspoons vanilla

Preparation

Step 1

Mix cream, flour and salt until lumps are dissolved. cook over medium heat while stirring continually with wooden spoon. Cook this mixture until thickened and it forms a paste like ball which pulls away from the sides of the pan easily. Allow the paste to cool.

After paste is cooled, whip. Add the butter. and whip together. add sugar and continue whipping. Add the vanilla and beat well.

This is a good frosting for those who don't like too sweet frosting. In hot, humid weather this frosting tends to be soft when beating. It will require refrigeration if not to be too soft.
