  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1 1/2  cups          Sugar
     1/2  teaspoon      Light corn syrup
     2/3  cup           Water -- boiling
   2                    Egg whites -- stiffly beaten
   1      teaspoon      Vanilla

Combine sugar, corn syrup, and water. 
Bring quickly to a boil, stirring only until sugar is dissolved.
 Boil rapidly, without stirring, until small amount of syrup forms a
soft ball in cold water, or spins a long thread when
 dropped from tip of spoon ( 240~).
 Pour syrup in fine stream over egg whites, beating constantly.
 Add vanilla. Continue beating with rotary egg beater
 10-15 minutes, or until frosting is cool and of right consistency to spread
. Use wooden spoon when too stiff for beater.
 Makes enough frosting to cover tops and sides of two 9" layers.
