Ingredients

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup water
2 teaspoons light corn syrup
2 egg whites
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

On the top of a double boiler, whisk together all the ingredients, excluding the vanilla.
Ensure the boiling water in the lower section doesn't touch the bottom of the top pan. Use a hand mixer at high speed to beat the mixture until stiff peaks form, which should take about 7 minutes.
After removing from heat, stir in the vanilla and continue beating until the frosting is firm enough to hold deep swirls, then use it to frost your desired dessert.
