If you find American buttercream too sweet and are looking for something with a velvety, melt in your mouth texture, then you really have to try this Vanilla ermine (also known as cooked flour) buttercream.
This recipe is specifically for vanilla, but you can of course add any flavor to it.
You need very few ingredients and equipment to make this recipe at home.

WHAT MAKES COOKED FLOUR FROSTING DIFFERENT TO AMERICAN BUTTERCREAM?
With ermine buttercream, some ingredients, such as, the flour, sugar, salt & milk are quickly cooked in a small pot and allowed to cool which then forms a pudding like mixture and is added to the butter to form the ermine frosting/buttercream.
With american buttercream, you simply mix the butter with some powdered sugar, milk & vanilla extract to create the frosting. It is quicker to make this version, but it is much sweeter and not as velvety as the cooked flour frosting.
But both frostings are great to frost cakes, cupcakes or use as a macaron filling.
Both frostings can also be flavored however you like. Here is the link to my Delicious Chocolate Buttercream Frosting - • HOW TO MAKE THE BEST CHOCOLATE BUTTER...
Ingredients:
30g (1/4 cup) all purpose flour
150g (3/4 cup) white sugar
250g (1 cup) milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
225g (1 cup) unsalted, softened butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
I really hope that you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!

This recipe seems perfect for me bc honestly American buttercream is too sweet for me. The fact that it usually involves 4 CUPS of powdered sugar is just crazy to me lol

I have made this frosting for many years. It is the original frosting for red velvet cake. It is very light, not too sweet and has a whipped cream feel in the mouth. It makes a divine coconut cake frosting.

Finally a frosting with less sugar that everybody would agree! Thanks for sharing! Gonna try this!

I came from a family of diabetics and I have been sesrching for a stable and not too sweet frosting for my cakes and cupcakes and then I saw this video during the lockdown period here in the Philippines. Ever since then i have been making this recipe to decorate my cakes and cupcakes. My family love the taste and told me that "this frosting is really good" and yes it is stable.

The best frosting. My great aunt always called it "old fashioned boiled frosting" --- when I was a kid, I was convinced she frosted her cakes in whipped cream, as this frosting really does have the mouth feel & taste of whipped cream.
