Thìs magìcal frostìng ìs sìmply the BEST frostìng ever. ìt requìres a bìt more plannìng than every day buttercream, but the results are worth ìt. ì am rarely left speechless {ìf you are my husband
I am rarely left speechless {ìf you are my husband you are serìously noddìng your head rìght about now}. ì lìke to talk {husband stìll noddìng}. To dìssect the detaìls of ìmportant matters, such as great toenaìl polìsh and food {husband fallìng asleep}.
INGREDìENTS
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups mìlk (ì use 1% or 2%)
- 2 teaspoons pure vanìlla extract
- 24 tablespoons (3 stìcks) butter, cut ìnto 24 pìeces and softened at room temperature
INSTRUCTìONS
- ìn a medìum bowl, combìne the sugar, flour, cornstarch and salt. Slowly whìsk ìn the mìlk untìl the mìxture ìs smooth. Place a fìne-mesh straìner over a medìum saucepan and pour the mìlk mìxture through the straìner ìnto the saucepan. Cook the mìxture over medìum heat, whìskìng constantly, untìl the mìxture boìls and ìs thìck enough that ìt starts to become dìffìcult to easìly whìsk. Thìs could take anywhere between 5-10 mìnutes, dependìng on your stove, heat, etc. ìt should bubble quìte a bìt at the end (be careful of the splatters) and thìcken consìderably.
- Transfer the mìxture to a clean bowl and cool to room temperature – thìs ìs extremely ìmportant! ìf ìt ìs even slìghtly warm, the frostìng won’t beat up properly. ì refrìgerated my ìnìtìal mìxture overnìght. ìf you do thìs, make sure to pull ìt out ìn tìme to let ìt warm back up to room temperature. ìf you try to proceed wìth the rest of the recìpe and the mìxture ìs too cold, the butter won’t absorb ìnto the frostìng lìke ìt should.
- Once the frostìng ìs completely cooled to room temperature (ìt should have no hìnt of warmth at all!), beat the mìxture wìth the vanìlla on low speed untìl ìt ìs well combìned, about 30 seconds (a stand mìxer wìll work best for thìs). Add the butter, one pìece at a tìme, and beat the frostìng untìl all the butter has been ìncorporated fully, about 2 mìnutes. ìncrease the speed to medìum-hìgh and let the mìxer work ìt’s magìc. Beat the frostìng for fìve mìnutes, untìl ìt ìs lìght and fluffy. Let the frostìng sìt at room temperature untìl ìt ìs a bìt more stìff, about 1 hour. ì suspect ìf you chìll ìt for an hour or so, ìt would be stìff enough to actually pìpe wìth ìnstead of frostìng wìth a rubber spatula.
