Notes

Whole milk is best for the frosting.
Either salted or unsalted butter can be used in this recipe, depending on preference.
If the frosting is lumpy after the powdered sugar is added, keep whisking vigorously while cooking the frosting over medium heat. However, do not cook the frosting for too long or the texture will be wrong.
