Buttercream Roses

These roses are made from buttercream which is made from butter, milk, and flour instead of shortening. I found this recipe taste better than using vegetable's fat but the texture is less stiff so you have to work faster.


Buttercream Forsting
Ingredients:
1 cup milk
1/4 cup unsifted, all purpose flour
1 cup butter (room temperature)
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract


Methods:
In a saucepan whisk flour and milk together. Cook over low heat until starting to thicken carry on for 1 to 2 mins more (don't let it get too thick or it will be too stiff when it cools)

Let cool, stir now and again . If mixture is lumpy when it cools, press it through a fine sieve.

With an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until fluffy.

Beat in the cooled flour paste and mix until smooth. Mix in the vanilla.


*If it's too soft refrigerate until it is of spreading consistency
