Flour Frosting: The Not-Too-Sweet Buttercream

Your Recipe of the Day No Images? Click here Flour Frosting (a.k.a. Ermine Frosting) Ermine frosting is an old-school buttercream made with just four ingredients: butter, sugar, flour, and milk (okay, six ingredients, if you count salt and vanilla). It feels as light and silky as whipped cream, but it's far more stable. It's also an easy, eggless alternative to European buttercreams, like Swiss and Italian, but it's substantially less sweet than American buttercream.

Just for Him! No Images? Click here   Our Favorite Gifts for Father’s Day​ Fun and useful kitchen gadgetry, outdoor-cooking tools, tasty snacks, and more Father's Day gifts for the culinarily minded dad. Get the full story here.   Spaghetti con la Colatura Gift Box​ Pick up this spaghetti colatura gift box from one of our favorite Italian-goods purveyors, Gustiamo. It comes with everything Dad will need to make the dish at home. Inside, you'll find a bottle of the aged fish sauce, rich extra-virgin olive oil, and spaghetti faella, a type of pasta that's rough and porous, so it's perfect for soaking up all of that sauce.   GrillGrates If your dad is an avid outdoor cook, get him a set of GrillGrates to amplify the heat on his current grill setup. These portable aluminum grates fit right over existing grates, their holes allowing just enough hot air and smoke to rise up from below while also trapping the heat underneath, so your dad can expect fantastic sear marks on his next steak. Baking Steel If you want to keep your dad happily turning out great Neapolitan-style pizza, he absolutely needs a Baking Steel—even if he already owns a pizza stone. Since the Baking Steel is made of metal, it conducts heat much faster (and retains it better) than stone, yielding a crisp, charred crust and perfectly melty cheese.   Cleaver This meat cleaver has a balanced weight, sharp edge, and solid construction. It'll allow Dad to handle all sorts of heavy-duty butchery tasks with ease, and he'll look (and feel) like a badass while using it. Get the whole story and more right here!
