Ermine frosting is an ultra creamy frosting that’s made with a mixture of boiled milk, flour, and sugar mixed with butter. It’s less sweet than traditional buttercream, but its whipped texture and rich flavor make it the ideal choice for red velvet cakes and cupcakes! <\/em><\/p>\n

What Is Ermine Frosting? <\/h2>\n

Ermine frosting goes by several other names, including roux frosting, flour frosting, or boiled milk frosting. It’s made by cooking a mixture of flour, sugar, and milk into a thick paste on the stove. Once the mixture has cooled, it’s then mixed into butter.<\/p>\n

The end result is a frosting that’s less sweet than American buttercream frosting and has a whipped texture. It’s much simpler to make than other cooked frostings, like Swiss meringue buttercream, although it does require a little elbow grease to prepare. <\/p>\n

Ermine frosting is the frosting of choice for red velvet cakes and cupcakes, but it pairs well with almost any type of cake.<\/p>\n
