Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 large egg
3/4 cup sugar
4 teaspoons water
1/2 pound unsalted butter, at room temperature

Steps:

  • With a heavy wire whisk, beat the egg until frothy, and set aside.
  • Combine the sugar and water in a heavy-bottomed pan, and bring to a boil. Boil, stirring occasionally to clean the sides, until the mixture reaches 248 degrees, the soft ball stage, on a candy thermometer.
  • Pour the boiling sugar syrup into the beaten egg, vigorously whisking the egg as you pour so it cooks but does not curdle.
  • Slowly add the butter, whisking each addition until it is incorporated. When smooth, spread on cake.
