Have you ever been out of icing, whipping cream and eggs? Or your blender has stopped working so you cannot blend your sugar into icing sugar to mix with butter but you really need to frost your cake, pie crust or choux! In this blog, I will show you an easy step by step fluffy and creamy frosting recipe that you can prepare it and frost anything you want with just few and simple ingredients.
Ingredients --
3/4 cup regular sugar
3/4 cup plain flour
1¼ cup milk
1/2 cup soften margarine
1 tsp vanilla essence
Method--
Use a heavy saucepan, do not use thin recipient as this frosting may burn during cooking so it is better to use a very thick recipient!
First combine all the dry ingredients, flour and sugar.
Add milk and stir well.
Turn on heat on medium high temperature, use a whisker or a folk and stir continuously.
Keep stirring as the paste starts to thicken, decrease your heat to low and continue to stir until you reach a thick creamy consistency. Turn off heat immediately. Be careful, what it close as burning may occur if you keep it cooking for longer. Do not scrap the sides of your saucepan as this may create lumps which you do not want! Now let it cool for 20 minutes or after 5 minutes, place in fridge to cool. It is very IMPORTANT to let the paste cool completely before adding the margarine.
Beat your margarine until light and creamy.
Add it with your flour paste, vanilla essence and mix thoroughly with a whisker. Mix for 10 minutes until you reach a shiny, fluffy consistency. Your frosting is ready.
The flour paste will taste weird before adding the margarine so be patient and wait till you mix it with the margarine and vanilla essence once it is cooled.
You can see, egg yolks are not added to it, still it taste good and has nice texture.
It's much thicker than normal icing
It stands so well in choux and the taste is just nice...
I just love the shiny, thick and fluffy texture though margarine is used in it and not to forget the flavor of the margarine!
