Hey everyone, it is Drew, welcome to our recipe page. Today, we’re going to make a special dish, ermine buttercream (flour buttercream). One of my favorites food recipes. This time, I will make it a little bit tasty. This will be really delicious.

I just so happen to call it flour buttercream here on the blog, because the flour in the buttercream is really what sets this type of buttercream apart, in my opinion.

Start with deliciously fluffy basic buttercream, then master the art of Ermine. This flour buttercream, or boiled icing or ermine frosting - whatever you want to call it- it is the traditional buttercream served with red velvet cake! The first time I ever had ermine buttercream (or flour buttercream) was at Magnolia Bakery in NYC. Now I didn't know it at the time that I was.

Steps to make Ermine buttercream (flour buttercream):

1. The traditional (I think) way of doing this is making a roux (boiling milk & flour until thick) then pouring over whipped butter and sugar. But for a smoother, zero grains guaranteed buttercream, you cook flour, sugar and milk, beat your butter until fluffy, then add the cooled roux a tablespoon at a time into the butter & beat. Any version would work just fine.
2. Pour milk, flour and sugar into a saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously to avoid clumping until a very thick consistency is attained. If you still have clumps you should strain the roux before using.
3. Beat butter, salt and vanilla using a hand mixer until fluffy and light.
4. Cool the roux.
5. Add one tablespoon of roux into butter, beat for a few seconds until incorporated, add another tablespoon & repeat until done.
6. You can add food colour.
7. I find that the thicker my roux is the more stable NY buttercream is (might be wrong though, I'm still experimenting.)
8. Use as you would any buttercream frosting ☺️
