I found this recipe among my grandmas old recipes. this frosting is very versatile. May be used as a cream puff filling, topping for gelatin or desserts, as cake filling, and for frosting of course. Ingredients:
5 tablespoons flour |
1 cup milk |
1 cup sugar |
1/2 cup shortening |
1/2 cup margarine |
1 tablespoon vanilla or 2 ounces melted chocolate |
Directions:
1. Mix flour and milk to a smooth paste in small sauce pan.
2. cook over low heat until very thick, stirring constantly.
3. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
4. Put sugar and fats into bowl (2 quart size) and beat at highest speed for 10 minute (This is very important- it must be beaten until so smooth that sugar us hardly noticed).
5. When milk and flour paste is cold, beat into sugar mixture until it looks like whipped cream.
6. Beat in flavoring.
7. Tastes like whipped cream or ice cream.
8. Will keep for several weeks in the rer.
9. if covered loosely with waxed paper.
