* Swiss Buttercream *

Just like the delicacy of Swiss Meringue ... Swiss Buttercream is valued for its stability. It begins with Swiss Meringue and softened (not melted) butter is added to it until beaten completely. It should not be overworked when spreading or piping as it quickly melts. Should be stored in the refrigerator. Shelf life is approximately one week. May also be frozen. Before using make sure it stands at room temperature until completely softened then stir or beat until fluffy. Tomorrow ... Italian Buttercream. ~ Chef Wilkinson ~
