Buttercream Icing

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup butter or margarine
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup milk
6 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 tablespoon cocoa if you want chocolate icing




DIRECTIONS:

Cook milk and flour until very thick (so thick you can't stir), then COOL.

Cream butter, sugar and cocoa (if using cocoa) until very creamy. Add milk and flour mixture and vanilla. Beat until thick and creamy (about 4 or 5 minutes).

This is an easy way to make icing without confectioners sugar.
