Ermine buttercream. It’s lighter than American Buttercream but easier to make than SMBC. It’s every bit as delicious, stable and very pipeable in our hot weather. Also, be assured there is no flour taste whatsoever.
Recipe (makes a small piping bag)
Roux
- 16g plain flour
- 100g milk
Butter cream
- 100g salted butter
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 25g to 30g caster sugar (adjust to taste)
Method
1. Add milk and flour into a pot. Use hand whisk to stir till flour has dissolved. Place on stove and sse medium heat and whisk constantly.
2. Lift off the stove when roux thickens and forms a paste, in about a few minutes
3. Leave to cool to room temperature.
4. In another bowl, cream butter and sugar till light and fully. Add in vanilla extract.
5. Add in roux tablespoon by tablespoon. Whisking thoroughly after each addition.
6.And it’s done! Scoop into piping bag and pipe as you like!
