Place sugar, flour and salt in sauce pan and mix thoroughly: stir in milk. Cook over medium heat and stir constantly until very thick. Remove from heat and pour into a medium mixing bowl. Cool at room temperature. Add 1/2 cup butter at a time and beat at medium speed until smooth. Add vanilla and beat well. Chill icing for a few minutes before decorating.
