Hi All!
I am not sure if I am making smbc properly. I have tried Eliza S. SMBC recipe twice and both times it comes out very liquidy. Is it supposed to be like this? Or is it supposed to be thick and fluffy like regular bc?
Or maybe you can share with me a simple yet tasty SMBC recipe of your own.
Any help greatly appreciated ![]()
Thanks!
I make hers all the time and it's always perfect, not liquidy, but nice and smooth - velvety almost.
perhaps your bowl or utensils has some grease residue? your bowl and utensil have to be completely grease free in order for the egg whites to whip up properly.
I don't know then what I am doing wrong
I always wash my bowls and utensils before I use them. And my smbc comes out kind of runny. In the recipe it does say if it is liqidity to pop in the fridge. I have it in the fridge for 2 days now. Do I bring it to room temp. and re-whip? I love how it tastes but the texture does not seem right but I am not sure since this is now my 2nd time making smbc. ![]()
if your room is a bit warm and it seems to get to soft, then you would pop in the fridge to let the butter harden up some and then continue to rewhip. it would only be for a bit, not really for days. if it's rock solid, then let it come to room temp and try rewhipping. at first it might look curdled, but just let it continue to whip until it's nice and smooth.
i've made it even when my kitchen was mega hot with no problems - it held up to the heat really well.
Thanks for your help Jessie. I am going to play around with it again tonight and hopefully I can bring it back to life! Thanks! ![]()
Nicolle, theres a point while you're making it that it becomes very liquidy. Usually after you have added all the butter. This is the point where most people give up. Do not give up. Whip it, whip it good...(sorry I got carried away in a song) anyway, this is when you have to mis it longer until it turns into wonderful frosting.
HTH!

OMG! You are SO right!!! I just need to keep whipping it longer! duh! geez! Mine looked just like the video, kind of runny but as soon as she whipped it in over a minute the texture completely changed! So that is what I have to do. Thank you so much for posting those videos, it definitely made me see my errors! You are the best Jess! ![]()

Maybe when I have a question, you can help me.
Pay it forward......
