ERMINE ICING



Ermine Icing image

This is an old-fashioned icing, also called boiled-milk frosting. The results are as light as whipped cream but with much more character. It was the original icing for red velvet cake. For best results, you may want to double it: A little extra frosting never hurts.

Originally known as ermine icing or butter roux icing, you can change up the flavor with any extract you want to try. I love adding peppermint extract for a pop of holiday flavor.

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 ½ cups milk
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups white sugar
¾ cup unsalted butter
1 pinch salt to taste
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Cook milk and flour together in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until thickened to the consistency of pudding. Bring to a boil; pour into a heat-proof container. Lay a piece of parchment paper directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for 8 hours to overnight.

Stop the mixer and scrape down the bowl. Increase speed to medium and beat until frosting is light and fluffy, 5 to 10 minutes. Beat in vanilla extract.

ERMINE ICING

I first found this recipe in a community cookbook linked with a red velvet cake. That was in the 70s and since then most recipes I have found for red velvet cake, have had creamed cheese frosting. Maybe because this one has to be kept refrigerated and takes a little longer to make. The original recipe said when this icing looks a...

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 c milk
3 Tbsp all purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 c butter
1 c granulated sugar (i use super fine)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract (clear vanilla if u want the icing whiter)

Steps:

  • 1. Whisk flour into milk and place over medium heat in a small sauce pan. Cook mixture until thickened; remove from heat and add salt; Cover with plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate about an hour to cool. In a stand mixer, begin creaming the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add vanilla. When milk mixture is slightly cooled; add 1 TB at a time to the creamed butter mixture while the mixer is running on medium speed. Slowly but surely the gluten will pull in the butter into an emulsion. You should have an extremely fluffy, light and buttery frosting when completed. Don't be alarmed if it looks a little curdled. The original recipe said that it is perfect when it looks this way. Enjoy!

ERMINE ICING FOR RED VELVET CAKE



Ermine Icing for Red Velvet Cake image

This recipe has been posted here for play in CQ3 - New York. Found at website: http://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1016330-ermine-icing This is an old-fashioned icing, also called boiled-milk frosting. The results are as light as whipped cream but with much more character. It was the original icing for red velvet cake. Hints: Your roux should be the consistency of paste. It will require a bit of time and a lot of whisking before you get a really thick paste. In addition to this the paste must be completely cooled before it is added to the other ingredients.
