Seven-Minute Frosting

Ingredients

2 egg whites
5 tablespoons water
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

Combine the egg whites, water, sugar, corn syrup, and cream of tartar in the top half of a double boiler. Set over simmering water and immediately begin beating with an electric mixer on high speed for 7 minutes.

Remove from the heat, add the vanilla, and continue beating until the whites are satiny, with firm peaks, about 1 minute. Use immediately.
