The perfect frosting for most any cake

Yield: Makes 4-1/2 cups

Ingredients

2 egg whites

1 1/2 cups sugar

dash of salt

1/3 cup water

2 teaspoons light corn syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:

Combine egg whites, sugar, salt, water and corn syrup in top of double boiler. Beat 1 minute or until thoroughly mixed.

Place over boiling water and beat constantly at high speed on electric mixer or with rotary beater for 7 minutes, until frosting will stand in stiff peaks; stir frosting up from bottom and sides of pan occasionally.

Remove from boiling water and pour at once into a large bowl. Add vanilla and beat 1 minute, until thick enough to spread.
