Recipe for Cooked Frosting

RE: Recipe for Cooked Frosting Post By suemoore55 (Guest Post) (09/03/2008) I have this recipe at home. It is the BEST frosting ever. My grandmother used to make it then my mother now I make it for everything. I wonder if anyone ever got back to you on this? If not let me know and I'll email it to you. I have never known anyone outside of my family that knew about it. Sue Report Spam or Abuse RE: Recipe for Cooked Frosting Post by Ariela (209) | (02/03/2008) Profile | Contact 7 minute frosting..

I have the one with flour, but now am on a gluten free diet. I can make cakes with special flour, but use to like that recipe.

It is one of my faves. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Red-Velvet-Cake-I/Detail.aspx Report Spam or Abuse RE: Recipe for Cooked Frosting Post by MCW (564) | (01/30/2008) Profile | Blog! | Contact COOKED FROSTING 3 tbsp. flour 1 c. milk 1/2 c. butter 1/2 c.
