CAKES | 181 ERMINE FROSTING Ermine frosting is an old-fashioned method based on a sweetened, cooked paste of milk and flour. The recipe sounds unlikely but this frosting is delicious, subtly sweet with an incredibly airy, whipped, plush texture. I found rice milk gives the most ideal flavour — it has a delicate sweetness that’s perfect here. Almond milk should also work well. The method definitely requires some patience. 5 Tbs all-purpose flour 1 cup sugar 1 cup rice milk 8 Tbs/112g butter-flavoured margarine ½ tsp vanilla Whisk the flour, sugar and rice milk in a small saucepan over a medium heat until it’s thickened to a pudding texture. Remove from the heat and allow it to cool to room temperature. In a large bowl of a mix master, or in a food processor, whip the margarine until light and fluffy. Continue beating while adding the cooled flour mixture a spoonful at a time. The mixture should grow light, thick and fluffy. Beat in any preferred flavourings or colours and refrigerate until required. If it appears curdled after refrigeration, throw it back in the food processor for a few minutes, and if it still looks separated, beat in a couple teaspoons of cornstarch. CARROT CAKE https://lovingitvegan.com/ In May 2021 we were breathing a sigh of relief that Covid was no longer a serious threat in Israel and the chances of a change in government seemed good. The worst seemed over. And then the confrontation with Gaza exploded into Guardians of the Wall with Israel cities under constant bombardment and the air force attacking Gaza. Then to our horror, Arabs and Bedouin in Israel exploded in anger and frustration with terrible incidents of violence especially in cities with Jewish and Arab citizens. The Gaza confrontation will eventually subside but we are very concerned about how to repair relations and ameliorate the position of the Arabs in Israel. During the Guardians of the Wall campaign, May 2021, when travelling on the roads didn’t seem safe the Rons came for Friday night supper.
