Ingredients

  • 1½ cups Milk
  • ⅔ cup Sugar
  • 3 Tbsp Flour
  • 2-3 drops Vanilla
  • Dab Salted Butter

Instructions

  • Add milk and sugar to a saucepan on medium-low heat.
  • Sift flour into mixture then begin to whisk.
  • Continue to whisk until icing is sticking to the whisk and "dripping" from it when held above the pan.
  • Once near-desired thickness is reached, remove from heat.
  • Whisk in vanilla and dab of butter.
  • As the icing cools, it will thicken a little more.
  • Pour over individual servings of chocolate cake and enjoy!
