Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 4 pieces Large egg whites
- 0.25 teaspoons Cream of tartar
- 0.25 cups Water
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Set up a double boiler: Fill a medium saucepan with about 2 inches of water and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Place a heatproof mixing bowl that fits snugly over the saucepan without touching the water.
In the heatproof bowl, combine the granulated sugar, egg whites, cream of tartar, and water. Whisk the mixture lightly to combine.
Place the bowl over the saucepan of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat the mixture on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase to medium speed.
Continue beating the mixture for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until stiff and glossy peaks form. The frosting should triple in volume and hold its shape well.
Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Beat for another 1 minute to fully incorporate the vanilla and slightly cool the frosting.
Use immediately to frost cakes or cupcakes. This frosting is best used on the same day it’s made.
