Did you know that making buttercream out of all purpose flour was a thing?! Introducing to you a super delicious, light and fluffy buttercream called Ermine Frosting (also called boiled milk frosting)!

In this video I'll be showing you guys how to make Ermine Frosting, which is made by boiling milk, flour and sugar to create a roux, and then mixing that into some butter and flavouring! It sounds strange, but trust me - this frosting is delicious! It's also a great option when you don't have any icing sugar/confectioners sugar lying around, as this recipe uses regular white granulated sugar.

Full ingredients list below :)

This has been my go to frosting for many years. I have a metal bowl so I just aim a hairdryer at the outside of the bowl whenever it looks curdled. I also like to lighten my frosting up even more with some whipped up heavy whipping cream. It always "curdles" on me then but if I use the hairdryer trick or just keep whipping it long enough it eventually comes back together. I also find that switching out the whisk attachment for the paddle attachment at the end also helps the buttercream get really smooth. It is a quite yellow buttercream but if you add the tiniest touch of purple food coloring gel, it will look whiter.
