Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 lb unsalted butter cut into small pieces, softened
3 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
flavoring of choice. up to 3 tbsp of liqueur

Directions:

Place egg yolks into the bowl of an electric mixer attached with a whip
In a SMALL saucepan combine sugar and water and bring to a boil, stirring with a heat proof spatula to get any sugar crystals from the sides
Boil for 3 minutes
With the motor running quickly pour the sugar syrup into the yolks
Beat until the yolks have cooled to touch
With the motor still running start adding bits of butter until all is Incorporated
Add flavoring of your choice, raspberry, coffee, halenut liquer etc, or some extract. I add 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder to make a delicate chocolate.
I have made this substituting Splenda for sugar for a diabetic friend and it worked great!
