Once it’s thickened, transfer to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let cool for 1-2 hours at room temperature or 30-40 minutes in the fridge. You want to make sure the mixture is completely cool before moving to he next step or else it can melt your butter.

In the bowl of standing mixer or using a large bowl with a hand held mixer, beat the softened butter 3-5 minutes until pale yellow.

Step 4

Slowly add the cooled flour mixture 1-2 tablespoons at time, making sure it is fully incorporated before adding more.

Step 5

Once you’d added all the flour roux, turn up the speed and mix another 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy.

Step 6

Add vanilla, salt, and any other flavorings and remix until combined. Enjoy!
