Assalamualaikum semua. Mudah-mudahan semua urusan kita dipermudahkan Allah. Hari ini saya mula kelas Scientific Method of Commerce (RBUS 6921) dengan Professor Peter Clarkson. Alhamdulillah, seronok dan sangat bermanfaat. Walaupun ada masalah domestik sikit bila saya dah mula kelas ni sebab saya ada kelas pagi, diikuti seminar dan bersambung dengan kelas di sebelah petang, tapi saya yakin semuanya akan dipermudahkanNya, insyaAllah. Bersyukur sangat kehadrat Allah kerana dipertemukan dengan sahabat-sahabat yang baik di bumi Brisbane ni...Terima kasih ya Allah....
Sebenarnya, entry ni nak cerita pasal resepi buttercream. Kan dah janji masa letak entry cream cheese frosting
kat sini, nak cerita pasal buttercream pulak kan :) Minta maaf lagi sekali sebab lambat update kat sini. Tapi takperlah.."better late than never" kan?
Ok, di sini saya himpunkan beberapa variasi resepi buttercream....Jadi, boleh pilih mana yang berkenan di hati....
BUTTERCREAM 1
1 cup of good quality salted butter
3
teaspoons of vanilla (clear vanilla if you want a whiter color)
4
cups of icing sugar
4-5
tablespoons of coffee cream (18% and up)
1.Using room temperature butter, place it
in your mixer bowl.
2.Using a paddle attachment, whip the
butter until it’s creamy and fluffy.
3.Add in the icing sugar, one cup at a
time, beating in completely, until all 4 cups are combined.
4.Add in the vanilla and whip again to
combine.
5. Add in your cream, less cream = stiffer icing, more cream = fluffier icing
(Note: Coffee cream in Canada is a high fat cream, usually around 15-18%. I
wanted to use a cream with a high fat content and coffee cream is right
between half & half cream and whipping cream. I personally didn’t
want to use whipping cream but commenters have let us all know that this
icing is just as incredible using whipping cream)
BUTTERCREAM 2
CLASSIC AMERICAN BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
This recipe uses powdered sugar, butter,
vanilla and milk. This is a great recipe for decorating and piping on cupcakes
and cake.
Ingredients
1
cup unsalted butter (2 sticks or ½ pound), softened (but not melted!) Ideal
texture should be like ice cream.
3-4
cups confectioners (powdered) sugar, SIFTED
¼
teaspoon table salt
1
tablespoon vanilla extract
up
to 4 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
Instructions
Beat butter for a few minutes with a
mixer with the paddle attachment on medium speed. Add 3 cups of powdered sugar
and turn your mixer on the lowest speed (so the sugar doesn’t blow everywhere)
until the sugar has been incorporated with the butter. Increase mixer speed to
medium and add vanilla extract, salt, and 2 tablespoons of milk/cream and beat
for 3 minutes. If your frosting needs a more stiff consistency, add remaining
sugar. If your frosting needs to be thinned out, add remaining milk 1
tablespoons at a time.
