SEVEN MINUTE FROSTING

This is another recipe from my 1955 MARSHALL TOWNSHIP PTA cookbook. This recipe was submitted by Margie Deckard who was my late mother's cousin.

2 egg whites
1 1/2 cups sugar
5 tbsp. cold water
1 1/2 tsp. light corn syrup
1 tsp. vanilla

Put egg whites unbeaten, sugar, water, and corn syrup in upper part of double boiler. Place over rapidly boiling water, beat constantly with egg beater and cook seven minutes or until frosting will stand in peaks. Remove from fire, add vanilla and beat until thick enough to spread.
