Yield Makes enough for one 9-inch layer cake

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 1/4 sheets gelatin
1/2 cup egg whites (from 5 to 6 large eggs)
1 1/2 cups sugar

Steps:

  • Fill a medium bowl with water and add ice. Add gelatin to ice water and let stand until soft. Drain, squeezing excess water from gelatin, and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites on medium speed.
  • Place sugar in a medium saucepan along with 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon water. Place over medium-high heat and cook, brushing down sides with a pastry brush to prevent crystallization, until liquid reaches 235 degrees on an instant-read thermometer; add gelatin.
  • With the mixer on low, slowly add sugar mixture to egg whites. Increase speed to high and beat until stiff peaks form, 10 to 15 minutes.
