Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 6 large egg whites
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
-
Prepare Double Boiler: Begin by setting up a double boiler. Fill the bottom pot with an inch or two of water, making sure the water doesn’t touch the top pot. Bring the water to a simmer.
-
Combine Ingredients: In the top pot of the double boiler, combine sugar, water, corn syrup, egg whites, and cream of tartar.
-
Beat Over Simmering Water: Place the top pot over the simmering water and beat the mixture with a handheld electric mixer on medium speed. Ensure that the beaters reach the bottom of the pot to prevent the egg whites from cooking.
-
Continue Beating: Continue beating for approximately 7 minutes or until stiff peaks form. The mixture should be glossy and smooth.
-
Add Vanilla: In the final moments of beating, add the vanilla extract and beat for an additional 30 seconds to incorporate.
-
Remove from Heat: Once the frosting is ready, remove the pot from the heat.
-
Cool and Frost: Allow the frosting to cool slightly, then use it to frost your cake or cupcakes immediately. The frosting sets quickly, so works efficiently.
