Instructions
1. Heat Egg Whites and Sugar
Place egg whites and sugar in a heatproof bowl (metal or glass).
Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method).
Whisk constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture reaches 160°F (71°C), or feels smooth between your fingers with no graininess.
2. Whip the Meringue
Transfer the warm mixture to a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.
Whip on medium-high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form and the bowl is cool to the touch (about 10–15 minutes).
3. Add Butter
Switch to the paddle attachment.
Add softened butter a few cubes at a time on medium speed.
The mixture may look curdled or soupy — keep beating! It will come together into a smooth, silky buttercream.
4. Flavor and Finish
Mix in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until fully combined and smooth.
Tips for Perfect SMBC
Use room temperature butter for the smoothest consistency.
If it’s too soft, chill briefly and then re-whip.
If it curdles, don’t worry — just keep beating and it will smooth out.
Customize with flavors: try almond extract, lemon zest, or melted chocolate.
