Boiled Frosting Recipe

This frosting is wonderful!! It is light and fluffy and not too sweet or heavy. I know it sounds a little strange as a recipe but you have to try it--you won't be sorry!!!!!

I've used this recipe for years, and it's a family favorite. I double the recipe, cut each cake layer in half, and make a 4-layer cake with it. Try it with chocolate cake.... heaven!

I received this recipe back in 1983 and I am out of town and wanted to give it to my hostess.
Imagine my suprise when I was able to find it on line. This was given to me by my friends grandmother. Thank you for posting it and now I can pass it on. This is one of my most requested recipes next to my hot taco dip. But thats anoter story.

This recipe was great! I used it as a topping on a rasberry & vanilla bean cheesecake, so I made some changes to the recipe to bring out the flavor of my cake--I used half milk and half bakers cream, 2 tablespooons of rasberry yogurt, 1 tablespoon of rasberry preserves, and used vanilla bean extract instead of regular vanilla. It was a huge hit!

It was kinda gross at first, but in the end it was amazing frosting! Keep up the good work frosting-recipe-makers!

This is a light, fluffy, & not heavily sweetened frosting. It goes great with any cake recipe!

Also, made this recipe for years. My favorite is to use in cream puffs.

Turned into more of a glaze for me which worked out, but I wish it'd been more of a frosting.

This is more or less my grandmothers recipe. We have made it for years. It couldn't be any better, and is always a go to for most any cake. It makes a generous amount. It is less sweet than many other recipes so its great for very sweet cakes, or for strongly flavored cakes. I have added cocoa /melted chocolate to the flour paste for a chocolate frosting...I think I will try substituting some cream cheese for some of the butter for a lighter cream cheese frosting.

I lost this recipe and thought I'd die...then I thought! check on the net.....There it be!!! Thanks God.
This is my families favorite.
