Mother of Gooses recipe for Ermine Frosting

                    The stream on a sunny day


                                                                Ermine frosting

Are you sick and tired of paying a ridiculous amount per pound for butter? Or do you want a change from the regular buttercreams?

Then I have reason to believe that you will be intrigued at least, in love at most with my mother’s Ermine frosting recipe. 

It requires some stove time, very little butter and it tastes good. 

Just follow my instructions carefully. Trust me, you don't want flour lumps.*

*I will mention this again later*


                                                                    The recipe


2 cups of milk.

½ of a cup of sugar.

4 tbsp flour.

6 tbsp coconut oil. (Butter if necessary.)

2 tsp salt.

Put the milk in a pot and add the sugar. It should be on medium heat.

Bring milk to a simmer.  

Now turn it down to low and sift in the flour while whisking.

You don't want the flour to have lumps, because that's just… it's not very nice. 

Now take it off heat and let it cool. While it cools, put your coconut oil/butter and salt in a bowl. Beat it with a stand or hand mixer until it's light and fluffy.

Then add the milk mixture and beat it until it's light and fluffy. Now put it on your cake or muffins and… voila!

Ermine frosting!


Baker’s advice: After you sift the flour in and get it incorporated, let the pot cook on low for a few minutes, to get rid of the flour taste.


I hope you enjoyed today's post. Have a good day, and remember: flour lumps taste bad!

Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write the lyrics to hymns, and the occasional recipe. Today, the hymn we are looking at is called This Is My Father's World; it was written in 1901 by a Mr. Maltbie Davenport Babcock. It was originally a poem with sixteen verses, but when it was set to music, only three verses were chosen. A tree and a bush Someday I might do the whole poem, but today, I'm just going to do the three that I know. Let me know if you want me to do the whole poem. Go to YouTube and look up Folksandhymns to find the tune. Now, on with the show! The Lyrics  Verse 1 This is my Father's world; And to my listening ears, All nature sings  And 'round me rings  The music of the spheres. This is my Father's world;  I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, Of skies and seas. His hand the wonders wrought. Verse 2 This is my Father's world; The birds, their carols raise. The morning light,  The lily whit

Lyrics to the hymn, Sweet Hour Of Prayer

A Kalimba, Ocarina, and Native American Flute      Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where my main thing is hymns. Today's hymn is one of my new favorites, Sweet Hour Of Prayer. It was written in 1845 by Mr. William W. Walford, and it is one of the best hymns in the world. In fact, every hymn I like is one of the best hymns in the world; funny how that works. If you don't how the tune goes, go to YouTube and look up Alan Jackson, or Folksandhymns.  Now, on with the show! A bridge   The Lyrics  Verse 1  Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! That calls me from a world of care, And bids me at my Father's throne  Make all my wants and wishes known. In seasons of distress and grief, My soul has often found relief; And oft' escaped the tempter's snare  By thy return, sweet hour of prayer! Verse 2  Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! The joys I feel, the bliss I share, Of those whose anxious spirits burn With stro
