Quick Milk Buttercream (in the microwaves)

Elena Butuc

This buttercream is very good, a useful invention for the busy cooks - it tastes almost the same as the classic milk buttercream, cooked on the stovetop.

It takes about 10 minutes to cook and some time to cool down - I warmly recommend it, you can use it for any cake you like.

Step by step

Step 1

In a heat resistant dish which you will also put in the microwaves, beat the egg yolks and the sugar using a whisk.

Step 2

Add in flour and mix well to make sure there are no lumps.

Step 3

Now comes the milk, pour it little by little, mixing well each time so that the mixture is smooth.

Step 4

Put it in the microwave for 4-5 minutes - and PAY ATTENTION - take it out after each minute and whisk.

Step 5

Each time you take out the cream to mix, you will notice it gets thicker. If it gets thick enough sooner - say, after 3-4 minutes, don't put it back in the microwave.
