Ingredients:
3 cups white sugar 1 cup water 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar 3 egg whites 1 pinch salt 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
Combine sugar, water, and cream of tartar in a saucepan. Cook until candy thermometer reaches 238 degrees F (115 degrees C), or until syrup spins a long thread when dripped from a spoon. Beat egg whites until stiff. Pour a thin, slow stream of the syrup into egg whites, beating constantly until frosting stands in peaks. Stir in salt and vanilla to taste. This is also called 7 min frosting and is usually made in a double boiler.
