Fluffy White Icing
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1/8 tsp. cream of tartar
1 tsp. corn syrup
2 egg whites stiffly beaten
1 tsp. vanilla
Heat first 4 ingredients slowly to boiling and cook without stirring to 242 degrees or until a small amount dropped from tip of spoon spins a long thread. Pour syrup slowly onto the beaten egg whites, beating constantly. Beat until cool and thick enough to spread. Add vanilla.
Will frost one two-layer 9 inch cake.
This is good and a little quicker than the 7 minute icing.
