Burnt sugar 7-minute frosting

Yield: 1 Servings

Measure Ingredient
¼ cup Burnt sugar syrup
2 \N Egg whites, at room temp
1¼ cup Sugar
¼ cup Cold water
¼ teaspoon Cream of tarter
¼ teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Place all the ingredients except the vanilla extract in the top of a double boiler (but don't place over boiling water yet.) Add ¼ cup of the burnt sugar syrup. With a small electric mixer, beat ½ minute at low speed.

Place pot over boiling water, but don't allow the pan to touch the boiling water. Cook, beating constantly, until the frosting forms stiff peaks, about 7 minutes. Add vanilla. Remove from heat and beat 2 minutes longer.
