Not-Too-Sweet Butterscotch Icing

Adapted from a cooks.com recipe for fluffy cooked icing.

Combine 1 cup milk with 5 T white flour. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat, till thickened.

In a separate pan combine 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 t salt and 1/4 cup unsalted butter over medium low heat. Heat and stir till sugar melts.

Combine sugar and milk mixtures.
Add 1/2 cup shortening and 1/4 t each orange extract and vanilla extract.
Beat until fluffy.
