Method

Step 1 of 3

Combine egg whites, caster sugar and a good pinch salt in a heatproof bowl. Whisk lightly to combine. Place bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (ensuring bowl doesn’t touch the water). Gently whisk mixture occasionally as it warms up and until sugar dissolves. To check whether the sugar has melted, rub a little of the mixture between your thumb and finger. It should be smooth, not grainy.

Step 2 of 3

Transfer mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer and whisk on high speed for about 10 minutes or until thick and glossy and the mixture is at room temperature. Switch to a paddle attachment.

Step 3 of 3

Cut butter into chunks. With mixer on medium speed, add a couple of pieces of butter at a time, beating well between each addition. When all the butter has been added, beat in vanilla extract.
