1¼ cups corn syrup
2 egg whites
Pinch of salt
½ tsp vanilla
Bring white syrup just to boiling. Meanwhile, beat egg whites until foamy and form soft peaks when beater is raised. Add salt. Slowly add hot syrup while beating; beat until it forms stiff peaks. Fold in vanilla. Add food coloring if desired. Spread on a cake.
Note: Good on Angel Food cake.
Note: Chocolate Snow Peak: fold in 2 squares melted unsweetened chocolate when vanilla is added.
