FLUFFY WHITE FROSTING
This is a favorite of my family's (especially my 16 year old--the only frosting she will ever make). It is in response to a request on the boards. If you are planning to use this on a chocolate cake, clear vanilla will produce a stark white frosting that contrasts beautifully with the chocolate. This is a light, fluffy frosting and doesn't over-power the flavor of any cake that you choose to top with it. My daughters also like to spread it on graham crackers for 'graham cracker sandwiches'.

Steps:
- Let egg whites stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Room temperature egg whites will have more volume when beaten than cold egg whites. In medium bowl, beat egg whites with electric mixer on high speed just until stiff peaks form.
- In 1-quart saucepan, stir sugar, corn syrup and water until well mixed. Cover and heat to rolling boil over medium heat. Uncover and boil 4 to 8 minutes, without stirring, to 242°F on candy thermometer or until small amount of mixture dropped into cup of very cold water forms a firm ball that holds its shape until pressed (see Testing Candy Temperature, page 00). For an accurate temperature reading, tilt the saucepan slightly so mixture is deep enough for thermometer.
- Pour hot syrup very slowly in thin stream into egg whites, beating constantly on medium speed. Add vanilla. Beat on high speed about 10 minutes or until stiff peaks form.
- Frost 13x9-inch cake, or fill and frost 8- or 9-inch two-layer cake. Leftover frosting can be tightly covered and refrigerated up to 2 days; do not freeze. Let stand 30 minutes at room temperature to soften; do not stir.

Steps:
- In a mixing bowl, cream butter until smooth.
- Gradually add confectioners' sugar; beat until smooth. If too thick to spread, beat in 1 to 2 tablespoons milk.
Tips:
- Use fresh, room-temperature ingredients. This will help your frosting come together smoothly and evenly.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar to the butter mixture. This will help prevent the frosting from becoming lumpy or gritty.
- Beat the frosting on medium speed for at least 3 minutes. This will help incorporate air into the frosting, making it light and fluffy.
- If the frosting is too thick, add a little bit of milk or cream. If the frosting is too thin, add a little bit more powdered sugar.
- Flavor the frosting to your liking. You can use vanilla extract, almond extract, lemon zest, or any other flavoring that you enjoy.
- Use the frosting immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring the frosting to room temperature before using.
Conclusion:
Fluffy white frosting is a delicious and versatile topping for cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With these tips, you can make perfect fluffy white frosting every time.
