FLOUR FROSTING

1 c. milk
4 Tbsp. flour
1/2 c. margarine
1/2 c. shortening (crisco)
1 c. icing sugar
2 tsp. vanilla

Combine milk and flour in a small saucepan (use a whisk). Heat and stir until thick and SMOOTH. Cool. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat shortening and margarine until fluffy, 4 minutes. Continue beating while adding flour mixture (any lumps, removed). Beat until fluffy, 4 min. or more. Add sugar and vanilla and continue beating until very fluffy. Double recipe for a large layer cake.

NOTES : This looks just like a bakery frosting, but isn't as sweet!
