4

5
Add one drop of violet food coloring.
6
Mix on low for another 10 minutes until smooth and white.
Ingredients
3 pounds powdered sugar
10 ounces pasteurized egg whites
1.5 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons vanilla bean paste
sticks salted butter
1 drop violet food coloring
Equipment
mixer
paddle attachment
Tips
Do not use real egg whites; they must be pasteurized.
If you don't have vanilla bean paste, you can use vanilla extract, but it won't taste as good.
Adding a drop of violet food coloring counteracts the yellow color of the buttercream, making it white.
