Description

Directions

• In a small saucepan, whisk flour into milk and heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens. It will be the consistency of a thick pancake batter or a thick paste. It shouldnt look wet.
• Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
• Stir in vanilla and desired amount of peppermint extract.
• While the mixture is cooling, cream the butter, sugar, and salt together until light and fluffy on medium high, about 5 minutes.
• Then add the completely cooled milk mixture. Make sure that the mixture isnt warmed than room temp or it will melt your butter mixture.
• Beat it for about 5 minutes on medium-high to high until it looks like whipped cream. It may look separated at first, so keep beating it until it comes together and looks like a whipped cream.
