Servings: 3 Cups
Calories: 384kcal
Ingredients
- 3 Egg whites From large eggs
- 1⅓ cups Granulated sugar
- ¼ cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
- In the top saucepan of a double boiler, add water, egg whites, sugar, corn syrup and vanilla extract.
- Beat the ingredients with a hand held mixer until just combined.
- Now, place the saucepan over the double boiler and beat everything together for about 7 minutes until peaks form and the mixture is thick, white and glossy.
Notes
- Even though this frosting should be ready in just 7 minutes, sometimes it takes me a couple of minutes longer. I think it has something to do with the different brands of eggs.
- Make sure water does not touch the top saucepan in your double boiler or else the frosting will become weird and grainy.
- At the end, I dumped the frosting in my KitchenAid mixer and gave everything a quick mix coz my handheld mixer is really old and dying...lol.
