on Dec 12, 2014, Updated Sep 07, 2023 49 Comments Heritage frosting includes ingredients and is made a bit differently from how you might think of a frosting, but definitely don’t let that scare you away from making this wonderful frosting recipe. Heritage frosting is made by cooking flour and milk over low heat until it is thick, then allowing it to cool completely. As it cools, you whip together butter, sugar and vanilla until they are light and fluffy before adding the butter mixture to the cooled flour mixture and whipping until it resembles fluffy whipped cream. Believe me, it is out of this world delicious and the perfect pairing for so many delicious desserts! Once you taste a cake topped with this frosting, you will be completely smitten, I think. Totally smitten. You may also want to give my Chocolate Heritage Frosting recipe a try. It is divine! Here is the Heritage Frosting recipe that Mama learned when she was in high school. She’s been using it ever since. Enjoy!Robyn xo (This post originally published November 7, 2010. Republished on December 12, 2014.)
