Equipments

  • Stand Mixer

Ingredients

  • 600 gr Granulated Sugar
  • 200 gr Water
  • 200 gr Egg Yolks

Directions

  • Boil sugar and water at 121°C (250°F) and pour over the yolks while they are already foaming in the mixer.
  • Whip the mass at high speed until it is lukewarm (40 - 50°C, 104°F - 122°F)

The syrup at 121°C (250°F) placed in the mixture of yolks avoids any pathogenic contamination (such as salmonella) and makes the preparation hygienically safe.
