1 cup milk
2 tbl. all-purpose flour
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
2 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts
1. Combine the milk and flour in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking or stirring often, until the mixture thickens almost to a paste, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool completely.
2. Meanwhile, beat the butter with a mixer at high speed until light and fluffy. Add the sugar in thirds, beating well each time, until the mixture is creamy and fairly smooth. Add the cooled milk-and-flour mixture and beat to 1 to 2 minutes, scraping down the sides now and then, to combine everything well. Using a large spoon or spatula, stir in the vanilla, coconut, and pecans, mixing to combine everything well into a thick, fluffy icing.
