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.

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 ☺️

"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 ?
