Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, water, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar completely dissolves.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar using an electric mixer at medium speed until soft peaks form (about 2-3 minutes).

- Mix in the vanilla extract until well combined and use immediately on cakes or cupcakes.
Notes
Best enjoyed fresh; if stored in the refrigerator, re-whip slightly before use. Ensure bowls and beaters are clean and free from oils for optimal whipping.
