Gravy Icing/Ermine Icing
Ingredients:
5 Tablespoons flour 1 cup whole milk 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 cup unsalted butter softened 1 cup sugar pinch salt
Preparation: In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk flour and milk till pudding consistency. Remove from heat, whisk vanilla and salt, pour into a bowl to cool completely. Hint: to shorten cooling time transfer into another cooled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap to prevent skimming. Using a mixer, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add slowly, cooled "flour/milk" mixture, mixing until looks like whipping cream. Frost cake. Yum, a beautifully cooked frosting favorite. Historically partnered with Red Velvet Cake.

My first reaction was . . . yuk! I could just picture incorporating "gravy' into icing. Not appealing at all. But I see the clever similarity of cooking the flour and liquid to make the icing. It actually sounds quite delicious.

thanks Mom, your right, you basically make a roux to add to your butter cream base. It is stupendous. 1/31/2017 07:48:06 pm
