Ingredients
- 4 egg whites (from large eggs and at room temperature)
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tarter
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
- 1/4 cup water
How to Make
-
Step 1: In a small saucepan combine sugar, corn syrup and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat and continue to cook until the mixture reaches 240 degrees F on a candy thermometer or when a teaspoonful of the mixture dropped into ice water forms a soft ball that holds its shape when cool.
-
Step 2: Whip the egg whites, cream of tartar and vanilla extract to soft peaks in a large bowl.
-
Step 3: With the mixer on medium high speed, slowly begin to pour the sugar syrup down the side of the egg white bowl in a thin continuous stream.
-
Step 4: Continue to whip the frosting until it forms stiff peaks.
-
NOTE Frost your cake immediately with this frosting while it is still slightly warm as it is easier to spread smoothly than if allowed to cool completely
