[@luvleeana]

My mom made this all the time as a kid and I could never find the recipe. I seen this recipe and made it and cried and cried when I tasted it. It brought back memories of my mom

[@crystalarnoldfortune]

Can I leave the mixture overnight in the fridge n incorporate it with the butter the next day? I left the mixture overnight in the fridge n blended everything the next day. It came out so perfect, light n fluffy. This will be my new recipe for buttercream frosting.

[@joantionette734]

My mother used to make this frosting but her measurements were off so I always had trouble duplicating this properly. This recipe worked out great for me ! Now I can serve my mom's aka "grandmas" frosting recipe .. Thanks

[@jaxshane6746]

pro trick : watch movies on flixzone. Been using them for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.

[@bransonharlem9462]

@Jax Shane Yup, I've been using Flixzone} for since november myself =)

[@priscillatotorea3004]

Looks nice. Will give your recipe of the ermine frosting a try

[@alicemiriah]

I almost used a different recipe where the sugar isn’t cooked and is instead creamed with the butter. Luckily this video auto played right after. This will be my first time using a sugar that’s not granulated. Finally! Thanks for the recipe.

[@KitchenJoyBlog]

It's SO MUCH BETTER when the sugar is cooked!!

[@N145PM]

Ive made ermine before and the long beating time turned me off .. because the recipe i was using didnt have me cook the sugar with the flour and milk .. makes SO much more sense your way .. it took -forever- for that granulated sugar to dissolve completely while beating it with the butter and milk mixture. SO glad i ran across your recipe! I fell kinda dumb that it hadn't occurred to me to do it myself! lol

[@vicb5098]

My mom always made this for chocolate cake, its the best!

[@pratibhasalve1707]

Wow it's looking Delectable ❤️👍👌😍

[@elinadenzler9440]

I've tried this recipe and it turned out really great ! The frosting has a perfect consistency ! It's still a little too sweet for my taste (I think french people are not really used to buttercream frosting)

[@wajdalballal5428]

you can adjust the amount of sugar however you like. id say next Time only put 1/2 cup of sugar instead of a whole cup

[@lmlmlmlm7627]

What kind of frosting would you recommend? I’m looking for a mildly sweet frosting ( I know you commented a couple of years ago, but thought I’d try my luck asking)

[@yellowsky.000]

@@lmlmlmlm7627 I'm not who you replied to, but you might like Swiss Meringue Buttercream. It is far less sweet and very creamy. I got this recipe from a baker online, and it's very easy to make: ••• 150g fresh egg whites (roughly 4-5 whites depending on the eggs), ideally at room temp but not necessary, and definitely fresh not from the carton (sometimes this works, sometimes this doesn't). ••• 190g ultrafine granulated sugar (aka baker's sugar), important to use this as it has a better chance of fully dissolving ••• 454g (1lb/4 sticks) unsalted room temp butter 1. MOST IMPORTANT STEP FIRST! Wipe out your stainless steel mixer bowl and whisk attachment with a paper towel with some white vinegar on it. You need to make sure there is NO fat residue in there or else your meringue won't fluff up. 2. Get a pot with 1 inch of water on the stove, to a strong simmer/low boil. In your stand mixer bowl, whisk together the whites and sugar until mixed. PRO TIP: just use your whisk attachment to do all of this to save you an extra item to clean. Set on top of hot pot of water and whisk/stir until a thermometer reads 155 F degrees. This can take 2-5 mins depending on temp of the egg whites. 3. Once to 155 degrees, move bowl carefully to stand mixer and mix with whisk attachment for 2 mins at medium and a few mins at med-high until you have medium stiff glossy peaks. 4. Stop, and dump 1/2 teaspoon salt & all that butter in there at once, trust me, you don't have to be careful here. Continue to mix at medium for a couple mins. Yes, it will break and curdle/separate, that is expected, but continue to mix it and it will come back together. Lots of people give up there thinking it's ruined but it's the expected result. After a few mins, it will be smooth buttercream. 5. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla or other flavoring and mix another minute, this time using the paddle attachment. It's not totally necessary but it knocks the air bubbles out.

Thanks so much for sharing this delightful recipe, nothing compares to it. One of a kind.🤗🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@queencleo1151]

Thanks for the tutorial. I like that it isn't so sweet as opposed to buttercream frosting with powder sugar. Does this frosting pipe well and hold its shape?

[@agropinoash2298]

yes it kinda does ! i tryed it ;]

[@luvleeana]

U would have to not refrigerate. I’m a cake decorator. This is more for a pan cake. It spreads unattended

[@storgekitchen8539]

It looks easy to make it Thanks for sharing this recipe 👍

[@mizukimoon8803]

I want to use only 1/2 cups of sugar, will it affect the results?

[@j.delacruzbravo]

How do you prevent it from splitting? When I made it, the custard and butter did not come together and I had to add a significant amount of powdered sugar to smooth it out.

[@ilavarasi9007]

Happened for me too

[@j.delacruzbravo]

@@ilavarasi9007 strange.

[@iamsouley]

Hiiii... This i have to try. I dont like American frosting. Too sweet. My question though... Will the frosting melt during transit... I am currently in Africa and I dread the filling to melt while sitting out

[@gracelilyyoshua328]

Try adding gelatin for more stability if need be!?

[@sarahnaeem1260]

can this recipe frost and fill a three layer 6" cake?

Lovely helped me a lot

[@L..V..]

Is this recipe enough to fill and cover a two-layered (9" rounds) cake, or should I double the recipe? Thanks for sharing this video.

[@MandyMcGovern]

L Velez It should cover it just fine, depending on how thick you spread the frosting. I have done two 8-inch rounds with this, but if you like a thicker frosting layer, then I would double it.

[@L..V..]

Great. Thanks!

[@hulyaipek946]

is this buttercream suitable under fondant?

Hi thank you for sharing. May I know are these Ermine BC can be over mixing? And can we keep in the fridge for the leftover BC? Tq

How many cupcakes will 1 recipe frost?

[@lyncosentino3043]

I love this frosting. Question: does it freeze well? Ty

[@jessicaharris1608]

If this is the butter version of what my family makes (my family makes a shortening version of ermine), it should freeze marvelously well.

[@samanthapeck8395]

This worked brilliantly! But I'm trying to make icing for cookies rather than Frosting - can I just used the milk mixture as an icing? Will it set?

[@sherrygeorge1002]

Is it compulsory to cover with cling wrap /plastic to cool

[@jokinravi4161]

We can use wheet flour

[@fatemenazari8531]

Wow that's so good,if i want a chocolate frosting when i shoud use a chocolate pouder..??

[@KitchenJoyBlog]

I would add about 1/4-1/3 cup of cocoa powder to the milk during the cooking process.

[@naimairfan5738]

Is there no icing without butter.

[@amity4716]

Mine just came out a thick sticky batter :'( I re-watched the video and I still fail to see what I did wrong. I tried whipping it for an eternity and it just wouldn't. Anyone know what I can do with this batter? I hate to waste it. Maybe I could add flour to try an make cookies out of it...

[@suekorapuk4479]

How long have you cooled the flour mixture down at the stage demonstrated at 2:30 ? Personally I notice inadequate temperature of ingredients attribute to my baking failure like 70% of time. Hope you had found good use of the batter. xx

[@gracelilyyoshua328]

I say boil and whisk, chill and beat again!?

[@cookiehall1022]

Oh yeah! Regarding the whole "skin" problem...there was this scratch chocolate pudding pie recipe someone posted a comment they gave a really good tip . And because of that I did not have to do the plastic covering trick ...they said to let the pudding mixture get completely room temperature ( that means remove from the heat) after it COMPLETELY COOLS... THEN stir it ... causing the"skin" that formed to disappear ...!! THAT did the trick because when I filled the pie shells it never skinned up again!!!

[@fuze59]

Whats the trick to avoiding lumps when mixing?

[@jessicaharris1608]

My family makes a shortening version of ermine. The milk flour paste should only be cooled to about room temperature. Also, be sure to let it stand and whip for quite a while in a stand mixer, like more than 5 minutes.

[@eswarikarlapudi2943]

Hi can i use milk powder instead of flour

I made this frosting but its runny and I couldn't coat my cake... Although i followed the entire recipe

[@adellaelizabeth315]

Me too

[@AngelizAgosto]

Same

[@lovelynndionaldo7172]

Maybe your butter was too soft. The butter should still be able to hold its shape before you start mixing.

[@lillienwaligora6082]

Same!!! And after decorating my cupcakes with it the butter separated from the frosting making it melt and look yucky, next time I'll whip the butter longer and see how it comes out 😄

[@sheejass4889]

Please tell me how to make it stable because It started to melt when im piping Rose's out of it.....

@@sheejass4889 This frosting is too creamy and delicate to use for piping flowers. I would recommend a more stable buttercream for that.

If I wanted chocolate flavor at what point would I add Coco powder ?

[@amihayashi8651]

In the beginning with the dry ingredients.

[@sweetsona24]

Can u tell me the measurements in gram pls

The gram measurements are listed in the full recipe post here: kitchenjoyblog.com/sourdough-chocolate-cake-with-ermine-frosting/

[@eejaey3433]

Would love to try this. Planning on making red velvet cake. How much creamcheese should I add? Could i make half/half of butter and creamcheese instead? Thank you so much 😊

[@MandyMcGovern]

Hi Ericka! I typically either use this frosting as written for Red Velvet or make a cream cheese frosting. I have not tried incorporating cream cheese into this recipe, so I can’t say for sure what the results might be. My personal preference is for this recipe as written with red velvet cake. Whatever you end up doing, I’m sure it’ll be delicious!!

[@abbyisawesome6983]

I tried ermine with cocoa powder and i noticed that it curdles a bit? Same with Swiss meringue. I know cocoa powder tends to be hydrophobic is there any way to remedy this?

[@calebthepanda]

How long can I keep it in the fridge in an airtight container?

[@KitchenJoyBlog]

I've kept it in the fridge for up to a week and it's been great. Just let it come to room temperature before serving so it softens up.

[@KavisTastyCakesHomebaker]

Can I use icing sugar instead of granulated sugar? Kindly reply me

[@MandyMcGovern]

Anishka Dye Decor I would not recommend substituting another type of sugar instead of granulated sugar for this recipe.

[@IYeleven]

Can I skip the sugar ?

[@lucyclimer-kennedy3503]

No

[@lillienwaligora6082]

It depends on the recipe, but most of the time sugar isn't only to add sweetness but to also give the desert a specific texture, so skipping the sugar isn't a good idea, especially in American sweets because American recipes heavily depend on the sugar content

[@AparnaKarthikeyan]

You are awesome

[@omniavideo3151]

Sounds good! For someone like me though, from Europe, how much is a 'stick' of butter?

[@taylortwinsandpreslie8662]

113 g

[@norhamiaabdukjazel8814]

Is this frost stable?

[@purpledaisie22]

is there a limit to how long we should beat the frosting? Will it get runny if we beat it for too long?

[@raquel7144]

I have the same question

[@reeree121]

This is the original Red Velvet cake frosting.

[@BorneoCrocodile]

Can we just use sweetened evaporated canned milk instead of the milk roux?

[@MandyMcGovern]

Newzionis No, the cooking of the flour is important for the texture as well as the flavor. I would not recommend making a substitution for the roux.

[@latashapayne6333]

Could this frost 2 8in cakes?

[@MandyMcGovern]

Latasha Payne yes, it will cover two 8-inch round layers.

[@PembegulAO]

your recipe contains 2 pieces of butter, but how many grams is that?
