Whipped Frosting

Ingredients:

For 5 c.

3 large egg whites

3/4 c. of sugar

Pinch of salt

1/3 c. of water

1/4 tsp. of pure vanilla extract

Directions:

In a heatproof bowl set over (not in) a saucepan of simmering water, combine egg whites, sugar, salt, and water. Cook over medium, stirring constantly, until sugar has dissolved (or mixture registers 150 degrees on an instant-read thermometer), 2 to 3 minutes.

Transfer to a large bowl.

Using an electric mixer, beat on medium-high until glossy, stiff peaks form (do not overbeat), about 3 minutes; reduce speed to low, add vanilla extract, and beat just until combined.

Use immediately.
