- How to Make French Buttercream
Full Recipe: preppykitchen....
This creamy, custardy buttercream is made with egg yolks and it's BEYOND delicious!! If you love pastry cream then you basically have to make this immediately! In the video I say it's not appropriate for building a cake with but I think it's totally fine, you just need a lot of it! It does pipe really beautifully so I would say it's perfect for cupcakes or macarons.
Some Tips and Pointers
*THE BUTTER!! It has to be soft but not super soft about to melt. When you press into it the butter should yield but only after you apply a bit of pressure.
*Don't let the sugar go past 240F (115C), if you do things will get chunky.
When you add the sugar syrup in run the mixer on LOW, you don't want hot sugar splattering all over the place.
*The recipe doesn't make a huge batch so if you're trying to ice a small cake make a double batch.
*Because of the yolks this buttercream will never be white, if you need a lighter frosting then try Italian or Swiss meringue buttercream.
I was just telling my sister that I haven't tried French buttercream yet and 20 min later this is uploaded ha awesome
I read that you gotta make sure the mic on your phone and laptop/pc is turned off bc google is listening in on your conversations. Some people have complained that theyve gotten ads regarding things they never actually googled but had talked about in front of their devices 😑
Awesome
IT IS CALLED=> SYNERGY " !!
@@charissecoal That has happened to me several times. Very unsettling to me.
@@deejo2 thag has happened to me a lot. I believe our gadgets esp our phones are listening and gathering information..
Thank you for converting it to g and ml because it’s hard to find people who do that and I always have to look up British recipes. Unfortunately there aren’t British recipes for everything so thank you for being considerate and making my life easier!
Snowdropthewolf you could also look up from cup to gram and then you’ll get a site with the calculator and it says how many grams it is!🙃
Same appreciation, few pipo convert yet im one person that uses grams
@Michael Persico they just said "thank you".. seems like you have some aggression problems🙄
Michael Persico even the concerted measurements aren’t as specific, grams and millilitres are overall more specific and useful
@Michael Persico Michael be kind, and stop acting like a whiny spoiled dick.
His dorky cheesy personality makes him so attractive and that smile makes me melt! I hope you get more subs, you truly deserve it.
it's Ava why is that relevant ???
@@katiehe985 i think she just meant that if she was a girl he's takes bc he's gay haha
tbh I felt the same way I need a guy like him :)
it's Ava lol I’m a boy and I agree with @B Nasty.... 😳😳 also don’t assume their gender plz that’s rudeeee
@@mopeadaz no no no he said he was in a video so i just said that because he called him attractive
it's Ava but u didn’t know if B nasty’s a girl or a boy..
I took a class at Taylor's to learn to make french buttercream
Little did i know that this guy knew more than a 'professional' chef
Thanks for this!!!
Which Taylor's?
He is a pro chef
I started to study you videos for your desserts. I am 73, and I am so thoroughly mesmerized that I think I love you. Some of my creations need help.
Another project for my budding baking career! I can’t wait to try this with lemon cake. No need for yellow coloring paste.
French buttercream, because of the fat content, does really well with strong flavors like coffee or dark chocolate.
We raise chickens on the west coast of Canada. They are free range plus they get spoiled with organic scraps. Their yolks are a rich orange. Thank you for showing viewers this gorgeous French Buttercream recipe.
He is very cute and full of humours and fun to watch and very detail in explaining his baking.
This channel is a breath of fresh air. You are so lovely. If you are taking request I would love your version of a Shakshuka recipe
@@PreppyKitchen thank you! Happy New Year
i am a pastry chef and i got to say you are my favorite to watch. your informative and educational and just a joy to watch
This buttercream is perfect with your macaron recipe! I slightly altered it by adding vanilla beans and maple syrup. Beautiful!
You have changed my life in regards to the buttercreams... I have made Italian several times, the taste is too divine. You really helped me to be brave. I have not made any with chocolate yet. I made roses, too. They were a little harder to make because of all the butter compared to decorator icing, but well worth it in flavor. Thank You!
Just by your existence in this “blue” world, you bring so much joy to our lives! Thank you for always lighting up our days and for these culinary secrets. Love you🙏🏻
Who came here after the macaroon video bc u didn't know what to do with the let over egg yolk.
I'm baking macarons with my mom tomorrow and using this as a filling. I'm so excited to try it!
He has a youtube video about his macarons watch it it is perfect!
I am 2 years late lmao but, how was it!?
Omg I ALWAYS use this recipe for macarons because the whites go into the cookies and the yolks into the filling, so you don't have any leftover egg parts to find a use for.
I see why your husband loves you, you’re such a joy to watch and bake with.
is he gay 😳
Update: I followed your directions... and, voila! the French Buttercream came out perfectly! Beautiful! Thank you!
you and your food make me smile
I just made this and it's soooooo delicious! I usually fuck up trying to make homemade meringue buttercream but this is a delicious and easier buttercream to make. Thank you!!!
I am really happy I found this video. Now I know rather than having to figure out what dish to make with the egg yolks I can just turn it into a buttercream. :)
I followed your video guide and made/tasted French buttercream for the first time in my life! I am forever changed! Thank you! 💛 The #FrenchButtercreamMovement begins now!!!
You are the most charming man! Adorable too. I made this frosting and I had the same reaction that you did! YUMMMM
Love this guy!
So friendly and intelligent !!!
His style is so cool. 😎
I wanted to let you know that I spent roughly 4 hours today making your macarons and French buttercream icing. I watched your two videos about 100 times (maybe I just might be exaggerating, but a LOT) and my Macarons turned out super and the Strawberry french buttercream is divine. My
Macarons are aging in the fridge right now. I am so excited to try one tomorrow. My only fail is that they aren’t uniform in size. But I matched the pairs up so that at least the cookie halves match 💕😋😘 each other. THANK YOU!!!
Congrats on the success of your macarons. I plan to make his recipe tomorrow. I have a question. How did you flavor it strawberry? I want mine to be lime but I need to know if I can use lime juice and zest without it messing with the consistency. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated...
Doing the same now!!!
U r my best friend in baking...love all your recipes.
I tried ur Italian meringue buttercream.My first attempt was successful 😍 thx to u 😄 definitely I'm gonna try this one too 👍👍 thx u for sharing amazing recipes with us 💕💕
You took suger in gram or by cup(it is measure in ml)??? Pls reply dear
Muzamil Mushtaq Khan I used sugar in grams.
I came for the buttercream but i stayed for this man with the kindest eyes and warmest smile ever
Completely agree French Buttercream is underrated! Love your attitude and your smile!! Always enjoy watching your videos.
I tried this for my macarons. This buttercream is so so so so good! It is amazing and very tasty. Not to sweet. I love it!
What a yummy recipe. I've never tried this.... But def will for my daughter's birthday! Thank you
you're always joyful in your videos! and your descriptive script is whimsy and fun! i love the way you keep eating the buttercream FROM the bowl. It is childlike and reminds me how baking should be fun, instead of being too technical and skill wise about the recipes . thank you for this !
You have quickly become my favorite channel for baking tutorials. I just made your Swiss meringue buttercream for the first time and I’m in love. Will have to try this next. Thank you so much for sharing what you know with these videos!!
I’m so glad I found this channel ❤️❤️
I made my Italian butter cream the other day and i have my yolks in the fridge, will definitely be making a French buttercream with them! Thanks for sharing 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Kenya Woods what does Italian BC taste like and did you try the French? How was that?
Thanks John for this recipe. I did some adjustment by adding 1/2 cup butter to the recipe. I used it to pipe flowers.
Thank you for this recipe. Now I know what to do with the egg yolks each time I make macarons! Cheers!
I always had a difficult time getting a local baker to make this Swiss Meringue Buttercream frosting. They would always make an American Buttercream. Your video help me make this frosting for my wife’s birthday cake. she loved it. Great recipe instruction video. I am tempted to try the French Buttercream. Much appreciated. Thank You.
I love your videos :) They're incredibly helpful. I have a request I was hoping you'd consider: could you make a video comparing different buttercreams in how they taste/how long they last at room temperature, as well as what you personally would recommend? Preferably testing the icing as thick layers used to decorate cakes. I've been asked to make a special cake, (I was thinking maybe cream cheese icing?) and I'm terrified the icing will turn to goop during the event. Online there are many opinions as to which buttercream would be best to recommend, but I trust your opinion so I'd like to ask you for it :)
Mae I would also like to see a video regarding this!!
@@ericabush me too!!!!
Try the topless baker, he compares the 3. French, swiss and American
@@natalieslifestyle2811 Could John just be topless? LOL
How did it turn out? Good I hope 🙂😁
I've used this recipe and it's so amazing. I am never going back to American Buttercream. I use this to frost cakes and put inside my cinnamon macarons.
Definitely decorated my vanilla cake with this and it worked out. I made it into chocolate butter cream-mixed 1tsp instant coffee in 1 tsp of vanilla extract then added 1.5 TBSP of cocoa powder. It was superb! I also used one less egg yolk but kept the other measurements the same- worked just fine.
Also!! Found a Japanese egg white pancake recipe to use instead of making meringue with my left over egg whites!!
❤🤗😍🥚I'm in awe of your attention to aesthetic detail♏! From the recipe/ baking to you putting the ribbon on your piping bag for the "Money Shot." Love, Love, LOVE!🥚😍🤗❤
you are absolutely intoxicating to watch -genius method without pretension. Thank you!
I tried your recipe! It worked out wonderfully. I was a little scared when I saw the mixture curdling upon adding the butter cubes but it all magically fell into place, transforming into a smooth, silky, delicious buttercream.
Hands down best French vanilla buttercream ever 💕
Tried your recipe with a hand mixer at that and it was my 1st attempt it came out great! Just took some patience. The taste and texture was sooooooooo good. Thanks to you its now my favorite type of frosting
Thanks for posting; someone who actually made it and it turned out great.
I love macaroons and this french buttercream in between. Gotta try this! Thanks
french & swiss are definitely my go to! i usually alternate swss/french bc of the leftover yolks and whites respectively :-) if i dont use the whites and yolks for something else before hand!
Wow!! just earlier today I made meringue cookies and I was thinking ... what can I make with these egg yolks :) and there you were teaching us how to make this wonderful recipe... I will make the French Buttercream tomorrow.. Your awesome!! thank you
WOW!!!! Sounds and looks so delicious. I can't wait to make some of this Buttercream and use it as a filling instead of a Frosting. Thank you John for this Beautiful recipe....
It reminds me a lot of the filling in the classic German cake”bienenstich”, or sting of the bee. But, using your recipe which brings the yolks warm enough to (hopefully) kill any salmonella! Thank you thank you!!
Heyyyyy!!!!! This french buttercream is the most delicious buttercream i really liked. Your recipes always work. Thank you so much! I tried the meringue buttercreams but i always fail. But i tried this on my first attemp and I think I got it pretty right.☺☺
Always smile when watching your videos..!. Love from Bali 😍🌺
I tried your Italian butter cream recipe, those came out amazing. Now I will try this one and I am pretty sure you are the best as ever.
I just love how you explain these recipes, you make it so easy
Most amazing French buttercream!
I love watching your tutorials
Thank you for such lovely tutorials. I feel confident in trying ANY of your recipes. I love the way you speak on the average persons level and am very relaxed as I watch and bake haha. So glad I discovered you!
John! Can I just say not only are you funny but love the way you explain things . Keep up the good work :)
i'm always anxious about trying out recipes i find online instead of making recipes from bakeries but every single thing ive tried from you has turned out incredible!! thank you so much :)
Egg yolks feel like such an underappreciated ingredient sometimes. At least the French know how to make the best out of them.
Hi John. I can't thank you enough for showing us how to make this delicious macaron filling. I also followed your instructions on how to make the macarons. They came out incredibly delicious and in a blink of an eye they were gone. My family didn't even wait for me to put them in the container to hide them in the fridge to sit for a couple of days. Oh well, I guess I have to make more :-)
I madly respect your patience in macintoshes macrons
Macarons my bad
I’m here for baking advice, then this guy’s positive vibe get me well 💚 Enjoy watching your videos and hope you can get more recognition 🍰
May God bless you,you are such a blessing your recipe are so helpful and easy to follow
He has the sweetest smile ❤️
I love French buttercream especially with Opera cake...out of this world.
Hats off to you Preppy Kitchen. I just finished making a batch of each of your Italian, swiss and French buttercreme recipe. All are beyond heavenly. My first attempt at making my own. I have always bought ready made in store. Nothing compares. I started learning to bake when I watched your video about leveled cakes. Never knew domes were not a natural part of cake baking. I used the homemade version of the strips you taught for my first attempt and I still have the strips I made. I bought the wilton ones and they dry out faster. I have ditched them for the homemade foil ones as I can get the strip to the size of my pan. A pan of water below my baking rack doubly help to seal the moisture in my cakes. I am just a homegrown baker but your lessons make me look very professional. Thank you!
To any one who has no stand mixer, I made mine using a hand held mixer. Give this a shot and you will be converted!
I’d never heard of French buttercream before this but I’ve just made a batch and consider me converted.
I was looking to swap out a custard buttercream in a recipe that I have (basically the regular kind with instant custard powder added) and this is just about perfect.
John is SOOO me when he put the piping bag of Buttercream to his mouth...YUM! 😋
Beautiful and looks delicious. Congratulations.
by far my favorite baking channel
I’m so glad I found this channel thank you so much❤️
100 /100. Thank you for your effort. God bless you..😊
Ok, cupcake level you and your adorable smile was the best party of the video.
first time making them and following you video, they came out perfect! Now I've made salted caramel and strawberry macaroons following you recipe!
Gosh I love your honesty! I thought I was the only one that got eggs shells into batter etc. 😩
But you make us all feel normal... thank you for a great recipe too! 🙏🏻🥰
I've been watching your video's for about a year now. God I'm hooked on your programming. I love your chocolate cake recipe. I've made many cakes and cupcakes with various frostings and decorations. I also absolutely love your Red Velvet recipe as well. I make a cream cheese frosting recipe that is amazing with them. Thank you again for your program. I'm abscessed.
This guy is the best! Thank you Preppy kitchen! Your'e my favorite TH-cam channel.
I learn so much from your videos. Thank you!
Thank you ! I had been looking for the most authentic French butter cream frosting since I lost my book by Julia Child. I had an original copy from my mom. I know this is going to taste awesome 👏👩🍳
I use french buttercream to layer my cakes and love the taste. I much prefer the taste of French over Italian especially as a macaron filling
Helen Chen Do you then ice the cake with a different type of frosting? I was thinking this would be yummy between layers!
Your videos make me smile, I really admire your classic minimalist style.
How have I not heard of this yet?! So excited to try it!!! 😍💛
@@PreppyKitchen I'll help! 😂 I love custards and the way youre describing it makes me want it that much more! I went to school for baking and this b.c. was never brought up!!
I made buttercream American. I made too much😀 Thanks for the recipe🙂 I love watching you 😀 I can't eat it lol 😀 I really feel intimidated by tempering eggs😀😀😀 It was for a birthday 😀
This french buttercream is sooo creamy and delicious with the macarons. Thanks for posting! :)
You are so fun! Love your light heartedness 🌹
You are super fun to watch. Keep making the videos. I was looking for Macaron recipes and there you were.... Can't wait to get into the kitchen. I normally bake upwards of 12 dozen cookies each Christmas to give to family, neighbors and friends. This year I want to WOW them with fancy cookies, not just the same ole' chocolate chip variety. thank you so much for all your incredible tips.
I just love your personality and voice. So calm and you make me want to bake more. Definitely trying this butter cream. Thanks!!!
I can’t wait to try this recipe! We have our own laying chickens and there is nothing like fresh eggs from humanely treated, free range chickens.
This is my fave buttercream method in the world. I make it whenever I can and I have a cake order fir Monday that I'm using this for.
Looks delish! Would be fantastic to make side by side visual, piping and taste comparison among Italian, American, Swiss and French buttercreams.
I would also like to see the same.
Here I go... ingredients are ready...will watch the sugar temperature and will do my best at piping the buttercream onto the chocolate birthday cake that is baked and ready!!! We will celebrate later 🧁! Can’t wait!!!! Thank you! ( wish me luck!)
I love that it doesn't need a lot of butter. Thanks for sharing, love your recipes comes out perfect every time.😍😍😍
the way how you pipe the icing is really amazing
John I made your French butter cream. It was amazing. I prefer this over regular butter cream. Tried to frost it for a cake but it didn’t work well so I used whipping cream to frost the cake but I did use it fir inside the cake. Love it!!!
Just made this for the macaron filling! Super excited to eat it!
I just made this and it tastes SOOO GOOOD. Thank you!!
He's so adorable😀
Made this for macarons-- perfect!
I love the way you explain.. it makes baking so easy
👍👍 I tried and It's the best buttercream. Thank you recipe
