Old Fashioned 7 Minute Frosting 1 1/2 c sugar 1/2 c cold water 2 egg whites ( the yolks can be added to scrambled eggs) 2 t light corn syrup or 1/4 tsp cream of tartar 1 t vanilla
The recipe calls for double boiler, but I don't have one, so I improvise by sitting a bowl over a sauce pan of boiling water and it works fine. Combine everything but vanilla in bowl, beat til blended with hand mixer Place over boiling water, water should not touch the bowl. Cook about seven minutes beating constantly on high speed. Remove from heat and add vanilla Continue beating 2-3 mins til of spreading consistency. This will frost a two layer 9 in cake. Coloring can be added for special occasions, and sprinkling with coconut, or chopped nuts, crushed peppermint stick candy, or little red hot candies.
