Boiled Frosting

Ingredients

• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup boiling water
• 2 egg whites
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

1. Dissolve sugar in boiling water, and boil without stirring until a soft ball is formed when a little is dropped in cold water. Have egg whites beaten until stiff and dry. Pour sugar syrup over them in a fine stream, beating constantly. Continue beating until stiff enough to hold shape. Add vanilla.
