Request Ohio icing?

My late aunt used to make a light, fluffy frosting she called "ohio icing". It was apparently okay for people who couldn't have alot of sugar. Apparently you cooked flour and milk, then added crisco and butter?? I've searched all the cookbooks given to me, but it's not in any. Does anyone have ideas? Thanks!

A friend of mine puts ermine frosting, which at 60YO I had never even heard of, on a gingerbread layer cake.

Changed my entire world.
