Seven-Minute Frosting

Ingredients:

2 egg whites
1 1/2 cups sugar
Dash of salt
1/3 cup water
2 teaspoons light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla

Method:

Combine egg whites, sugar, salt, water, and corn syrup in top of double boiler. Beat 1 minute or until thoroughly mixed. Then place over boiling water and beat constantly at high speed of electric mixer or with rotary beater for 7 minutes, until frosting will stand in stiff peaks; stir frosting up from bottom and sides of pan occasionally. Remove from boiling water and pour at once into a large bowl. Add vanilla and beat 1 minute, until thick enough to spread. Makes about 4 1/2 cups, enough to cover tops and sides of two 8 or 9 inch layers or a 10 inch tube cake.
