准备
- 在足够大的耐热碗中,可以放在锅上,将糖,蛋清和盐搅拌在一起。
- 在2夸脱的锅中,将4杯水带到中火煮沸。将碗放在煮沸的水上(不要让碗触摸水)并加热混合物,偶尔搅拌,直到混合物在10至12分钟的即时阅读温度计上注册160°F。如果使用巴氏杀菌蛋清,则无需将混合物带到160°F;只需加热混合物,直到触摸温暖。
- Pour the egg white mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or a large bowl if using an electric hand mixer). On medium-high speed, beat the egg white mixture until it resembles a white, fluffy cloud, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Lower the mixer speed to medium low and add the butter, a few cubes at a time. The mixture may begin to appear curdled, but this is okay; keep the mixer running until the buttercream is smooth, glossy, and white (it will lighten in color during mixing), 10 to 15 minutes.
- 添加香草提取物并打直至合并。
- 如果不立即使用奶油,请在密封的容器中冷藏(请参见下面的Make-Apahead Tip)。
提前提示
奶油可以在密封的容器中冷藏长达一周。要将冷藏的奶油奶油恢复到可用的一致性,请将其转移回带有搅拌附件的搅拌机中。以中等速度打击,直到奶油蓬松,大约15分钟。混合物可能会凝结,然后再融合在一起。
Wildflower Honey Buttercream
Substitute 1/2 cup of high-quality wildflower honey for 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar in the master recipe.
Blackberry-Cabernet Buttercream
Combine 2 cups cabernet, 1 cup blackberries (smashed with a fork or potato masher), and 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a heavy-duty 2-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat until thickened and reduced by a third, about 20 minutes. The mixture should have the consistency of maple syrup. Strain through a fine sieve and let the syrup cool completely. Stir 1⁄4 cup of the syrup into every 2 cups of vanilla buttercream. Refrigerate the remaining syrup in an airtight container for up to a week, or freeze it for up to 3 months.
巧克力奶油
Melt 1/2 cup chopped 60% dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl on high for 45-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until melted. Set the chocolate aside, stirring occasionally, until cool to the touch, about 20 minutes. Fold the chocolate into 2 cups of vanilla buttercream using a rubber spatula.
Toffee Buttercream
Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray the foil evenly with cooking spray. Combine 2 cups granulated sugar, 8 ounces (2 sticks) cubed, unsalted butter, and 1-1/2 tsp. kosher salt in a heavy-duty 4-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat until golden brown and bubbling, 8 to 10 minutes. Pour the mixture onto the prepared pan, spread it out with a heatproof spatula, and let it cool completely, until the toffee is hard and cool to the touch, at least 1 hour. Then turn the toffee out onto a cutting board and chop it into small pieces with a chef’s knife. Add 1⁄2 cup of chopped toffee to every 2 cups of the vanilla buttercream. Store the remaining toffee in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Tip
您可以将巴氏杀菌蛋清代替生蛋清。如果您这样做,请在使用微波炉中加热几秒钟。蛋白酥皮不会变得蓬松,但对最终产品没有明显的影响。
