FLUFFY WHITE FROSTING Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup water
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
3 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

Place water, corn syrup, and sugar in a saucepan. Stir, cooking, until sugar is dissolved. Boil to about 232 to 236, or until syrup spins a thread when a little is dripped from a spoon. Place egg whites and cream of tartar in clean, grease-free bowl. Beat with hand-held mixer or wire whisk attachment of stand mixer until egg whites begin to hold their shape. Continuing beating, gradually adding hot syrup in a thin, steady stream, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Add vanilla and continue beating for about 5 minutes or until frosting loses gloss and stands in stiff peaks. Frost cake immediately. This makes enough to frost a large angel food or 2-layer cake.
