- Combine the vegetable shortening, sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until well blended. Beat the chilled milk mixture into the shortening mixture until fluffy.

ERMINE FROSTING
Light and creamy ermine frosting to compliment any cake. I use this instead of a cream cheese frosting on red velvet cake or cupcakes. The almond flavoring really compliments red velvet and offers an alternative if you're not fond of cream cheese frosting. It makes enough to frost 18+ cupcakes or a 3-layer cake.

Steps:
- Cook milk and flour in a saucepan until thick and bubbling, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour into a bowl; place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- Transfer cooled milk mixture into a large bowl. Add sugar, butter, shortening, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Whip frosting until creamy, 5 to 10 minutes.

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. For best results, you may want to double it: A little extra frosting never hurts.

Steps:
- Over medium heat, whisk flour and milk in a small saucepan and heat to a simmer, stirring frequently until it becomes very thick and almost puddinglike.
- Remove from heat, whisk in vanilla and salt. Pour into a bowl to allow it to cool completely. Put plastic wrap on the surface to keep a skin from forming.
- Use a mixer to cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy, scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally, about 5 minutes. With the mixer on medium, add the cooled flour mixture a little bit at a time. Continue to beat until the mixture becomes light and fluffy and resembles whipped cream.

ERMINE ICING FOR RED VELVET CAKE
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.
