Equipment

  • Large Glass Bowl
  • Medium saucepan
  • Hand mixer
  • Rubber spatula
  • Candy thermometer

Ingredients
  

  • 3 Large EGG WHITES
  • 1.5 Cups GRANULATED SUGAR
  • 2 tsp LIGHT CORN SYRUP
  • 1 tsp VANILLA EXTRACT
  • 1/4 tsp CREAM OF TARTAR
  • 1/3 Cup COLD WATER
  • 1 Pinch SALT

Instructions
 

  • Fill your saucepan with two inches of water. Place it on the stove over medium heat. Let the water reach a very light simmer.
  • Place a heat-proof bowl over the simmering water. Do not let the bowl touch the water. Add your sugar and egg whites now.
  • Add the corn syrup and the cream of tartar. Pour in the cold water and the salt. Whisk these ingredients together by hand very gently.
  • Turn on your hand mixer to a low speed. Beat the mixture over the steam for heat. Do this for about two or three minutes.
  • Increase the mixer speed to a high setting. Beat the frosting for exactly seven more minutes. Watch it become very white and very thick.
  • Remove the bowl from the hot saucepan carefully. Add the vanilla extract to the thick mixture. Beat for one more minute to cool it.

Notes

  • Keep your mixing bowl free of any oil.
  • Do not let any egg yolk touch whites.
  • Use a timer to beat for seven minutes.
  • Apply the frosting to a completely cool cake.
  • Use the frosting immediately for the best shine.
  • Whisk constantly so eggs do not scramble ever.
  • Check that sugar is fully dissolved before beating.
