Ingredients

1/2 pound unsalted butter cut into small pieces, softened

3 large egg yolks

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup water

Flavoring of choice. Up to 3 Tablespoons of liqueur

Directions

Place egg yolks into the bowl of an electric mixer attached with a whip

In a SMALL saucepan combine sugar and water and bring to a boil, stirring with a heat proof spatula to get any sugar crystals from the sides

Boil for 3 minutes

With the motor running quickly pour the sugar syrup into the yolks

Beat until the yolks have cooled to touch

With the motor still running start adding bits of butter until all is Incorporated

Add flavoring of your choice, raspberry, coffee, halenut liquer etc, or some extract. I add 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder to make a delicate chocolate.

I have made this substituting Splenda for sugar for a diabetic friend and it worked great!
