Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 third cup Cold water
- 1 tablespoon Light corn syrup
- 0.25 teaspoons Cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In the top of a double boiler (or a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water), combine the granulated sugar, egg whites, cold water, light corn syrup, and cream of tartar.
Step 2
Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, beat the mixture on low speed to combine the ingredients.
Step 3
Increase the mixer speed to high and continue to beat the mixture for about 7 minutes, or until stiff, glossy peaks form. The mixture should be hot to the touch, but not boiling.
Step 4
Remove the bowl from the double boiler or pot of simmering water.
Step 5
Add the vanilla extract to the frosting and beat for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the frosting is cool and holds stiff peaks.
Step 6
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or other baked goods. The frosting will set slightly as it cools but remains soft and fluffy.
