Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/3 cup water
- 3 large egg whites
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan on the stove, bring sugar and water to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Once boiling, simmer 3 minutes without stirring.
- Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer, beat egg whites and cream of tartar to combine.
- Once sugar has boiled for 3 minutes, remove from heat. Turn on the stand mixer and slowly pour sugar into the egg whites while beating on high speed. Continue beating until stiff peaks form, usually about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the vanilla and beat until just combined.
- Immediately use frosting as it will harden as it cools.
Notes
- You can also use this method to make 7 minute frosting with a hand mixer and no double boiler.
- Resist the urge to stir the sugar after it has come to a boil. This will help prevent crystal formation in the frosting.
- It's best to make 7 minute frosting right before you need to frost your cake or cupcakes. It's easiest to work with and softest just after it's made.
- This frosting will harden and become crunchy in the refrigerator. It's best made the day you plan on serving it.
