To get started with this particular recipe, we must prepare a few ingredients. You can have ermine buttercream (flour buttercream) using 6 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you cook that.

The ingredients needed to make Ermine buttercream (flour buttercream):

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. This cooked flour flour buttercream (Ermine frosting) recipe is from a very old FAMILY cook book. I have used it on my chocolate cake , moist red velvet cake and even my mango cherry cake and it always tastes amazing.

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 ☺️

This frosting is soft, creamy, FLUFFY and tastes very light and airy. Ermine Buttercream Frosting doesn't taste of flour and it has the advantage of being a lot less sweet than some buttercreams. It also doesn't use egg My Mom made Ermine Buttercream Frosting for our favorite cake (see My Mothers Chocolate Cake) and she often told me how she & her friend, Bev. "Flour buttercream" aka "cooked flour buttercream" aka "butter roux icing" aka "ermine frosting ". I think its called ermine because ermines or minks are supposed to have satiny smooth furs ?
