    Southern Fluffy Frosting

    Source of Recipe

    Maida Heater

    Recipe Introduction

    a fluffy meringue type frosting, similar to 7 minute frosting but doesn't require beating over the stove

    List of Ingredients

    3 cups granulated sugar
    1/3 cup light corn syrup
    3/4 cup water, boiling
    6 large egg whites
    1 pinch salt
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    1/4 teaspoon almond extract

    Recipe

    Place sugar, corn syrup and boiling water in a 3 qt saucepan over moderate heat.
    Stir until sugar dissolves.
    When mixture comes to a full boil, remove from heat and set aside briefly Beat egg whites with salt to stiff peaks.
    Transfer hot syrup to a pitcher for easy pouring.
    Beating at high speed, pour hot syrup in a thin threadlike stream into the whites.
    Pour slowly and scrape down sides if necessary to keep the entire mass well mixed.
    After all of the syrup has been beaten in, add vanilla and almond extract.
    Continue beating for 10-15 minutes on high until icing is very stiff
