I am always on the lookout for good frosting recipes. I decided to try a cooked frosting recipe from Our Best Bites. They claim it's the perfect cupcake frosting!
Step 1: Whisk together flour and milk
Step 2: Cook flour and milk mixture
Step 3: Cream butter and sugar, add vanilla
Step 4: Add cooled flour and milk mixture
Step 5: Beat for a long time
Result: Sweet, fluffy frosting -- this is a frosting that is light and does not draw attention to itself -- my little boy said "it's whipped cream!"
I made cupcakes with a chocolate fudge cake mix and added 1 cup mini chocolate chips to the batter. I piped on the perfect frosting and topped it with Andes creme de menthe baking chips. YUM!
