I usually won't post something that is unhealthy but I almost had a heart attack when I thought I had lost this recipe. I substitute a lot of the ingredients for healthier one's even using my own bread recipe for the roll but I am posting this as is so I don't lose the original. It's going to be a surprise for Valentine's day for my husband! He's gonna love it!

Fluffy Cupcake Frosting

This is a great frosting and is the best for those fluffy frostings. It isn't healthy and it is a very flexible frosting.

3 TBS flour
1 cup milk

Shake in a jar until mixed, then put into a pan and cook over medium heat until thick. Place plastic wrap on it and chill really well.

After chilled whip up and add:

1/2 cup softened butter
1/2 cup crisco

While it is whipping add:

1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp (to taste) vanilla/almond extract etc

Whip up some more!

I usually double this. I also cook it in my kitchenaide bowl so that I don't have to change bowls for whipping/chilling etc. Enjoy!
