Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 5 egg whites
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 cups unsalted butter, room temperature, cut into tablespoons
Preparation
Step 1
Boil 1 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water over medium heat until it reaches 245 degrees. As it cooks begin meringue so it's ready when syrup is done.
Whip egg whites with a wire whisk in a stand up mixer on high until soft peaks form. About 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle in 1/4 cup sugar. Beat.
Slowly pour the hot syrup into the meringue steadily with the mixer still on high.
Beat the frosting for 7-10 minutes until the outside of the bowl is room temperature.
Beat in butter by the tablespoon. The butter will deflate the frosting a bit.
Add in desired flavorings.
