The Best Buttercream. It was actually creamy and very rich. However the description of cooking the milk and flour is poorly written - it should NOT as others have noted form a ball.
It reminded us of our own homemade buttercream and that is a HIGH compliment. Coconut Buttercream Frosting coming. If you add the flour bit by bit and whisk constantly for several minutes over low-medium heat your patience will be rewarded.
This is one of our favorites.
