Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons corn syrup
  • 5 egg whites
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla

Preparation

Step 1


Fill the bottom half of a double boiler about half way with water and heat to a boil.
Combine sugar, corn syrup, egg whites, and salt in the top pan of a double boiler and beat until just combined (about a 30 seconds to 1 minute).
Place on top pan on top of the bottom double boiler filled with the boiling water, making sure that the water is not touching the bottom of the top double boiler.
Beat on medium-high speed for 7 minutes while frosting cooks. Frosting should become thickened and have a glossy appearance. Allow frosting to cool before using.
