Steps
Step 1: Mix together Egg white + Sugar
Mix egg white with sugar with a hand whisk
Boil over a double boiler, from boiling water, medium heat (3 mins)
Step 2: Beat with mixer
7 mins if you're using a stand mixer with the whisk attachment
20 mins+ if you're using a electric hand mixer
until the mixture has doubled in size
Step 3: Change to paddle attachment; add Butter
Add the butter, in small cubes, while the meringue is still slightly warm (but not hot)
So the butter will not melt in the meringue
Keep beating until you see the texture becomes buttercream texture
Step 4: Salt + Vanilla
Add salt & the vanilla at low setting, beat for another 3 mins.
