Didn't have any problems with making it. Wasn't sweet enough for me and had a greasy texture.

I followed the advice of other users and dissolved the sugar into the milk and everything came out perfectly. I used the filling in lady locks I made for a wedding and they were a big hit.

This was very good. I used it as a filling for rolled pizelles. I read the other comments regarding prolonged mixing time to dissolve the sugar and I solved that problem. I stired the sugar into the milk and just warmed it alittle stirring constantly. That dissolves the sugar quite nicely. It is importent to cool the mixture completely before adding the flour or it will lump. Follow the rest of the recipe as it is written. I used almond flavoring and it was delicous.

I used this recipe for my lady locks last year and didn't like it very well (it lacked flavor), but I thought I'd try again. I used 1/2 butter and 1/2 crisco. I was able to get the sugar crystals out. It still was not flavorful enough. I added one cup of powdered sugar to try to sweeten it up a bit. It didn't help much. I'll be looking for a new recipe.

I used this recipes years ago but found it much easier to put the flour and sugar in a mixing bowl, then put the rest of the ingredients on top. Let the bowl sit at room temperature for an hour, then beat until fluffy. No more worrying about sugar crystals that take forever to dissolve. If you do this when you put the cake in the oven it saves a lot of time.

This is pretty good, but.....it takes FOREVER to beat all the sugar crystals out. I bet I spent at least 30 minutes with my Kitchen Aid. My son relly liked it though. If I make it again I might try melt the sugar into a small amount of the criso and then add it into the rest. See if that cuts down on the time.

This frosting is excellent but there are a couple important tips. If the milk, flour mix is not completely cool it doesn't turn out right and if you don't whip it long enough it doesn't turn out right. Do everything correct and WOW. I have been asked for the recipe many times.
