Instructions to make Ermine buttercream (flour buttercream):
- 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.
- 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.
- Beat butter, salt and vanilla using a hand mixer until fluffy and light.
- Cool the roux.
- Add one tablespoon of roux into butter, beat for a few seconds until incorporated, add another tablespoon & repeat until done.
- You can add food colour.
