3 egg yolks
7 Tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup unsalted butter
flavoring according to recipe
In a medium bowl, beat egg yuolks just until mixed. In a small heavy
saucepan, heat sugar with water until dissolved, then bring to a boil
until syrup reaches soft-ball stage (239 degrees F or 115 C) on a
candy thermometer. Wait 20 seconds util bubbles in syrup in saucepan
subside, then gradually pour the hot sugar syrup over egg yolks,
beating constantly. If using an electric mixer, pour sugar syrup in
a thin stream between beaters & bowl so syrup doesn't stick to
either. Then beat as fast as possible iuntil mixture is thick &
cool. Cream butter & gradually beat it into yolk mixture which must
be quite cool or it will melt the butter when you beat it in. Beat
in flavor appropirate for chosen recipe.

melted semisweet chocolate which has been cooled slightly before
beating into the Butter Cream.

instant coffee powder dissolved in 1 TBSP hot water.
