In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk and flour over medium heat.
Continuously stir the mixture to avoid lumps, and cook until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency.
Remove from heat and let it cool completely before proceeding.
In a mixing bowl, cream the room-temperature butter and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer.
Beat on medium-high speed until the mixture is light, fluffy, and the sugar is well incorporated.
Add the cooled milk and flour mixture to the creamed butter and sugar.
Beat on medium speed until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract to the frosting and whip on high speed for 7–8 minutes until the frosting is light, airy, and fluffy.
Ensure the milk and flour mixture is completely cooled before adding it to the butter and sugar to avoid melting the butter.
For extra flavor, you can substitute vanilla extract with almond or other flavored extracts.
Use room-temperature butter for the best consistency and texture.
