Bring in a saucepan some water to boil and remove from heat.

Whisk the mixture with a hand mixer to 37C until thick and pale and then gradually shift and fold in with a spatula the flour and baking powder.

Before completely incorporating add in the butter and continue folding until homogenous but not deflated.
