Seven Minute Frosting

By amt2mf

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
• 3 large egg whites, room temperature

Preparation

Step 1

Bring 1/2 cup sugar, the water, and corn syrup to a boil in a saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves. Continue to cook, without stirring, washing down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush to prevent crystals from forming, until mixture reaches 230 degrees on a candy thermometer.

Meanwhile, whisk egg whites with a mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Immediately add sugar syrup in a slow, steady stream down the side of the bowl once it reaches 230 degrees. Raise speed to high, and whisk until mixture is thick, shiny, and cooled, about 7 minutes. Use immediately.
