I've heard of people beating their butter until it's fluffy, then adding it to the meringue once it reaches stiff peaks. I've also heard of people adding butter by the cubes into the meringue. Anyone know what the difference is? I'm thinking that beating your butter beforehand will lighten it up and make your SMBC less yellow-ish, but want someone to confirm that

. I always add the butter in chunks and the end result is always very light and silky 
i used to add my butter in chunks. i no longer do this. i beat the butter separately until it is light and fluffy and then add it to the meringue. i have found the beaten butter is incorporated MUCH better with the meringue versus the chunks.
Butter tends to get more pale as you beat it, so I figured it might make the end result more pale and more closer to white than yellow.
