Swiss meringue buttercream

[21:48, 13/09/2019] Danielle Ainsworth: So, you need x grams of egg white, 2x grams of caster sugar, 2x grams unsalted butter.

In a bowl over a pan of simmering water, whisk the egg whites and sugar together until they get to 71*C. Doesn't need constant mixing

Transfer to a large bowl (stand mixer if you have one, and preferably metal bowl), and whisk (the recipe I follow says until the bowl is cool to touch. It's kind of not quite stiff peak. Usually it takes about 15/20 minutes depending on ambient temperature)

Switch to a beater attachment and add the butter cube one by one.

Add any flavouring or colour :)
