1/4 cup flour

Frosting;
Cook until thick 1/4 c. flour and 1 c. milk. cool completely. Add to

I usually make this in two pans and make a layer cake however you can use a 9x13. and it works ok.

* Powdered buttermilk does not have to be mixed separately. I just add the powder with my flour and the water with the my other liquids and let it mix in the batter.
