NEOCLASSIC CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
Steps:
- Have greased a 1-C heatproof glass measure standing by. In a bowl, beat yolks with a hand-held mixer until light in color. Meanwhile, heat the sugar and corn syrup in a small saucepan (preferably with a non-stick lining) and heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the syrup comes to a rolling boil. The entire surface should be covered with large bubbles. A flat spot in the center is OK. Immediately transfer the syrup into the glass measure to stop the cooking. If using an electric hand-mixer, beat the syrup into the yolks in a steady stream being sure not to allow the syrup to hit the beaters, as they will splatter the syrup to the walls of the bowl. If using a stand mixer, pour a small amount of the syrup over the yolks with the mixer turned off. Immediately beat at high speed for five seconds. Continued with the remaining syrup. For the last addition, use a rubber scraper to remove the syrup clinging to the glass measure. Continue beating until completely cool. About 5 minutes. Gradually beat in the butter and, if desired, any optional flavoring (chocolate). Please in an airtight bowl. Bring to room temp. before frosting a cake. Re-beat to restore texture.
