FBC - what is this? Also - are you adding the boiling water to the buttercream at the last stage?
I can't wait to try this!
FBC, French buttercream is like IMBC, but it uses the yolks instead. It is a richer flavor because of the yolks. I prefer it over the others in general, except for vanilla. I think the richness of the yolks and the subtleness of the vanilla is just too rich. I have never tried this method with IMBC, but it would probably work. On FBC, it is actually shiny. I use 1 tsp in a 1.5x recipe that uses 6 sticks of butter.
This would probably work on ABC too.
