- 5 minutes to make
- Serves 1
This is the only butter cream recipe one needs. Flavorings such as liqueurs, flavorings or cocoa may be added at the end.
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound unsalted butter cut into small pieces, softened shopping list
- 3 large egg yolks shopping list
- 1/2 cup sugar shopping list
- 1/4 cup water shopping list
- Flavoring of choice. Up to 3 Tablespoons of liqueur shopping list
How to make it
- 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!
