Comment préparer Foolproof Buttercream Frosting

In a mixing bowl, beat 4 large egg yolks at high speed until pale yellow and fluffy (approximately 4-5 minutes).
Lightly butter a 2-cup glass measuring cup.
In a 2- to 3-quart saucepan, combine 1 ½ cups granulated sugar and ½ cup light corn syrup.
Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture reaches a rolling boil (235°F on a candy thermometer).
Immediately pour the hot sugar syrup into the buttered measuring cup.
With the mixer running at medium speed, slowly pour the hot syrup in a thin, steady stream into the beaten egg yolks, beating constantly.
Continue beating until the mixture is completely cool and room temperature (this will take about 10-15 minutes).
Add 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (or desired substitutions).
Beat until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
