ingredients ⋆˚࿔ ⋆ 6 egg whites ⋆ 2 c granulated sugar - ⋆ 1.5 c or 3 sticks of butter (room temp!!!) ⋆ 2 tsp vanilla ⋆ 1/4 c matcha powder ⋆ a hefty pinch of salt 1. separate egg whites (i like to crack the eggs into my hand and let the white run off the yolk into a bowl below. i do one egg at a time into a small bowl before adding to the rest of the whites so as not to risk breaking a yolk into all of my whites. devastating when that happens) 2. whisk sugar into whites then place over a double boiler and whisk periodically until the sugar is completely dissolved. you can check by pinching the Slime mixture to feel for sugar granules. 3. once dissolved, remove from heart and IMMEDIATELY beat with a hand mixer to create a meringue. this can take from 5 to 2o minutes! have faith. beat until stiff peaks. 4. once the meringue has reached room temperature add your ROOM TEMP butter 1-2tbsp at a time until completely combined. 5. add matcha, vanilla, and salt note: SMBC is a BITCH sometimes. your meringue will not whip if any drop of fat is introduced to the mixture. i wipe all my equipment with vinegar before i begin to insure this doesn’t happen. temperature is also critical. make sure your meringue and butter are the same temperature or your SMBC will split and curdle!orange vanilla buttercream
