Yield Makes about 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/4 cup water
6 large egg whites

Steps:

  • In a small heavy saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups sugar, corn syrup, and water. Place over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved, about 4 minutes. Rub a bit between your fingers to make sure there is no graininess. Raise heat to bring to a boil. Do not stir any more. Boil, washing down sides of pan with a pastry brush dipped in cold water from time to time to prevent the sugar from crystallizing, until a candy thermometer registers 230 degrees, about 5 minutes. (Depending on the humidity, this can take anywhere from 4 to 10 minutes.)
  • Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 2 1/2 minutes. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Remove the syrup from the heat when the temperature reaches 230 degrees (it will keep rising as pan is removed from heat). With the mixer on medium-low speed, pour the syrup in a steady stream down the side of the bowl (to avoid splattering) containing the egg-white mixture.
  • Beat frosting on medium until cool, 5 to 10 minutes. The frosting should be thick and shiny. Use immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a medium bowl for mixing to provide enough space for whisking.
  • Microwave the butter in a microwave-safe bowl for 30 seconds or until melted.
  • Whisk the butter and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the milk and vanilla extract and whisk until well combined.
  • If the frosting is too thick, add a little more milk until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • If the frosting is too thin, add a little more powdered sugar until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Use the frosting immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later use.
  • If storing the frosting in the refrigerator, let it come to room temperature before using.

This quick and easy seven-minute frosting is the perfect way to add a sweet and creamy topping to your favorite cakes, cupcakes, and cookies.
