In a saucepan combine sugar, water and syrup and cook, stirring often, until sugar is dissolved. Boil until syrup reaches soft ball stage, 234º, on a candy thermometer. Beat eggs with saltuntil frothy. Add 1/3 of boiling syrup to the egg whites in a thin stream, beating constantly. Then return syrup to heat and cook a little more. Add second third of boiling syrup in the same manner.
Place remainder of syrup on heat to reach crack stage,

vanilla. Whip until creamy. If icing gets too hard and
stiff, add a few drops of water at a time until it is right
consistency for smooth spreading.
