¼ cup | Burnt sugar syrup |

1¼ cup | Sugar |
¼ cup | Cold water |

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. From cooking From Quilt Country by Marcia Adams.
