Icing

Ingredients

  • 2 cup 'C' sugar
  • 2 egg whites, beaten stiffly
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

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