Fluffy Frosting

Fluffy Frosting

3 tablespoon all purpose flour
3/4 cup milk
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 tablespoons butter
6 tablespoons non-hydrogenated shortening
4 tablespoons sugar 

Combine flour and milk in a blender and whiz until combined well. Add to a saucepan and cook over medium heat until it starts to boil - be sure to stir constantly. Remove into a container and add vanilla. Cover and let cool completely in the fridge.

Beat butter and shortening until fluffy. Add the flour mixture and beat for 5 minutes. I do this in stand mixer and really crank up the speed.

Fill a pastry bag with frosting and frost the cupcakes.
