FLUFFY FRosTING.
(From Mrs. y. T. j., ArlingtonJ !"
For Mrs. c. w. M. who inquired
about the crusty formation on 7,
minute icing. I have long since
given up using such a frosting for
that very reason. But If the
. following recipe is used I'm sure
the results will be what Mrs. M.
desires. This frosting has never
turned sugary even the third day.
and although it calls fos only one
egg white 1t still produces enough
frosting for q large layer cake or
angel food.
Fluffy Frosting: cup sugar. Y
teaspoon cream of tartar, ls tea
spoon Of salt, i tablespoon white
corn sirup. y cup water. egg
white, teaspoons vanilla. Bring
first 5 ingredients to boiling point
and cook until sugar is dissolved.
Pour over unbeaten egg whites,
beating constantly with rotary
beater Ohand or electric) until it
Is of spreading consistency. Add
vanilla and spread on cake.
