Time 1h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
5 egg yolks
1 1/4 cups softened kerry irish gold sweet butter
1 tablespoon good brandy

Steps:

  • Combine sugar, water and cream of tartar in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves.
  • Cook over medium heat until syrup reaches 230 degrees, or until it spins a thread.
  • Beat egg yolks until light and lemon-colored. Gradually beat in syrup until the mixture is stiff and almost white.
  • Cut butter into very small pieces and gradually beat into the egg mixture with an electric mixer until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
  • Flavor with brandy. Chill until the mixture is firm enough to spread.
  • This makes enough to frost 2 9-inch layers of cake.
