Vanilla Butter Cream Frosting
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla
- pinch salt
- 1 lb soft butter, cut in 1 Tbsp pieces
Combine the eggs, sugar, vanilla and salt in the bowl of a standing mixture. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water (don’t let the bowl touch the water). Whisk gently and constantly as you heat the egg mixture to 160°F (ribbon). Place the egg mixture back onto the mixer and beat at high speed until it comes down to room temperature. Reduce the mixer speed and add the butter 1 piece at a time. The frosting my look broken, but keep keep going! When all the butter is incorporated increase the speed to high and beat until smooth and fluffy. Transfer into a piping bag and refrigerate until ready to use.
