From Country Living magazing. This looks like a beautifully glossy and light buttercream. I haven't tried this yet, but wanted to put this here for safe keeping.

Time 20m

Yield 3 cups of frosting

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup egg white
1 cup sugar
2 cups unsalted butter (cold)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Continuously whisk egg whites and sugar in a large, heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water until the mixture is frothy, thick, and very hot to the touch (about 160 degrees F).
  • Remove from heat and beat with a mixer on high speed. The mixture should then become cool and glossy and triple in volume.
  • Beat in the butter, cut into 1/2 inch cubes, a few pieces at a time.
  • Add the vanilla and beat until fluffy.
