  • 6 large egg yolks
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp vanilla (or other flavoring--see not at top of page)

Directions:

  1. In mixer bowl at high speed, beat egg yolks until pale yellow, 4 to 5 minutes.
  2. Butter a 2-cup glass measuring cup (you will need it for the next step-so butter it now).
  3. In a 2- to 3-quart pan, combine sugar and corn syrup.
  4. Cook over medium-high heat and stir until sugar is dissolved and mixture comes to a rolling boil.
  5. Immediately pour into the butter glass measuring cup.
  6. Beating constantly at medium speed, pour syrup in a thin, steady stream into egg yolks (avoiding beaters).
  7. Continue beating until mixture is at room temperature (7 to 10 minutes).
  8. Add butter and vanilla.
  9. Beat just until smooth.
