$300 Icing - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup milk
5 tablespoons flour
1 1 cup margarine or 1 cup cream cheese
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preparation

This first part is best made ahead to allow for cooling. In a small sauce pan, mix flour into milk, then heat on low heat, stirring constantly until mixture resembles a thick pudding. Cover and let cool.
In a separate bowl, cream butter with sugar.
Add vanilla and blend until smooth.
Add first mixture after fully cooled.
Decorate as usual. Should be able to ice one 8x8 cake. Excellent for Carrot Cake when using Cream Cheese.
Note - this is not a good recipe to sit out of refrigerator for too long, unlike the powdered sugar icings.
