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...
