Boiled Icing Recipes

Steps:

• Beat all ingredients together until stiff enough to frost cake with.
• This recipe makes enough icing for a large angel or chiffon cake.

Steps:

• Combine sugar, water, corn syrup, and salt in a saucepan; stir until well blended. Boil slowly without stirring until mixture will spin a long thread when a little is dropped from a spoon (hold the spoon high above saucepan), or reaches 238 - 242 degrees F (114 - 117 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, beat egg whites with a mixer until they are stiff, but still moist. Pour hot syrup slowly over egg whites while beating. Continue until mixture is very fluffy, and will hold its shape. Add vanilla, and beat until blended. If icing does not seem stiff enough, beat in 2 or 3 tablespoons confectioners sugar 1 tablespoon at a time until stiff enough to hold its shape. Spread on cake.

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan bring corn syrup, sugar and water to a boil and remove from heat. With an electric mixer (preferably stationary) whip the eggs whites with a pinch of salt until stiff and glossy but not dry. Slowly, as you are beating the whites, pour the hot syrup and continue to beat constantly until frosting is light and fluffy and holds soft peaks; fold in vanilla.

Steps:

• Combine the egg whites, sugar, corn syrup, water, cream of tartar, and salt in the top of a double boiler over water that is at a hard boil. Start beating right away with a beater until the mixture stands in stiff peaks. Remove from heat and add vanilla or your favorite flavoring and keep beating until it is thick enough to spread easily.
