White Mountain Frosting


Serves: 12

Ingredients

Directions:

1. Mix sugar, corn syrup and water in 1-quart saucepan. Cover and heat to rolling boil over medium heat. Uncover and boil 4 to 8 minutes, without stirring, to 242° on candy thermometer or until small amount of mixture dropped into cup of very cold water forms a firm ball that holds its shape until pressed. For an accurate temperature reading, tilt the saucepan slightly so mixture is deep enough for thermometer.

2. While mixture is boiling, beat egg whites in medium bowl with electric mixer on high speed just until stiff peaks form.

3. Pour hot syrup very slowly in thin stream into egg whites, beating constantly on medium speed. Add vanilla. Beat on high speed about 10 minutes or until stiff peaks form. Frosts 13 ¥ 9-inch cake, or fills and frosts an 8- or 9-inch two-layer cake.
