Ermine Frosting image

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.

Time 45m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup milk
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar

½ cup vegetable shortening (such as Crisco®)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract, or more to taste

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.

This recipe is a lifesaver for gluten-free bakers. It's hard to find a good gluten-free frosting that doesn't taste grainy or gritty, but this one is perfect. It's smooth and creamy, and it holds its shape well.
