Icing
Ingredients
- 2 cup 'C' sugar
- 2 egg whites, beaten stiffly
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Directions
- Cook the sugar and water together until it "clicks" when a little is dropped into cold water.
- Pour the syrup slowly over the stiffly beaten egg whites.
- Beat vigorously until cool and creamy.
- Add the vanilla and spread on the cakes.
- If the icing gets hard before it is cool, add two tablespoons of water and continue beating.
- The secret of good icing is steady, constant beating.
