White Mountain Frosting - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. light corn syrup
2 egg whites (1/4 c.)
1 tsp. vanilla
2 Tbsp. water

Preparation

Mix sugar, water and corn syrup in a saucepan.
Cover and bring to a boil.
Remove cover and cook to 240\u00b0 or until syrup spins a 6 to 8-inch thread.
Just before syrup is ready, beat egg whites until stiff enough to hold a point.
Pour hot syrup very slowly in a thin stream into beaten egg whites.
Continue beating until frosting holds peaks.
Blend in vanilla.
When spreading on cake, make pretty swirls with spatula.
Makes frosting for 8 or 9-inch layers or 13 x 9-inch oblong pan.
