This is one of my favorite frostings, though the name is mis-leading a bit. I do find if i blend the sugar with the roux while it is still hot, I get a better texture - it "softens" the sugar and I never have a problem with the end product being a little gritty.

I really wanted to like this but it didn't work for me. I didn't like the consistency with the granulated sugar & the flour/milk part wasn't smooth it left little pieces in the frosting. Probably won't try again.

if i could give this more than five stars i would! I usually like the sweet of frosting but this was GREAT on chocolate cupcakes! the only thing i'd warn ppl is to watch the milk-flour mixture....i walked away from mine for a minute and it got a bit more globby then paste like... I started over though and it exceeded my expectations, very whipped and worth the time! Thanks!!!!
