Raspberry Ermine Buttercream Frosting

Ermine Buttercream/Flour Frosting

1.All purpose flour-4 1/2 tbsps

Milk-1 cup

Granulated Sugar-1 cup

Salt-1/4 tsp

In a saucepan add all the above ingredients and whisk so that the flour is mixed without any lumps.

Now heat the mixture on medium heat,whisking continuously as it comes to boil.

Once it boils, cook on low heat for 1-2 minutes .Then remove from fire and whisk for a minute or so .The mixture should be lump free and smooth.Transfer this pudding to a bowl and place a cling film directly onto the pudding ,to prevent skin from forming on top.Allow this to cool to room temperature .

2.Unsalted Butter-226 gm

Vanilla essence-1/2 tsp

Once the pudding has cooled,beat the room temperature butter until pale and fluffy with an electric beater. I used my stand mixer.

Once it’s really smooth,add the cooled pudding 2 tbsps at a time ,beating well after each addition .After all the pudding is added,add the vanilla essence and beat this for another 3-5 minutes ,until the buttercream is smooth and creamy .Ermine Buttercream /Flour Frosting is ready.

This makes around 3 cups buttercream frosting enough to frost an 8” layer cake or 12 cup cakes. Store in airtight container in the refrigerator for a week or in freezer for 2-3 months . It should come to room temperature first and then whisk until smooth before piping .Frosted cakes should be refrigerated and served at room temperature.
