I'm looking for an answer as to why my smbc some times comes out super white and very airy. Or ivory and suppppper glossy. I have been using the exact same ingredients. And exact same recipe. For some reason it flip flops around. Today I made two batches and one came out white and the other came out ivory. The white version deflates as it seems to catch a lot of air- but it seems to harden better in the fridge. The ivory glossly one seems to be softer even though being in the fridge for the same time. I'm sumpped.
Thanks!
maybe your egg whites are too warm and they melt the butter in the glossy one -- so the water in the butter separates out
Incorporating air will make it whiter. The longer you beat it with your beater blade the airier and whiter it will become.
Also, as k8 said. Your meringue and your butter should not be too warm when you add them together as it will just melt your butter.
