Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • ⅓ cup water
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup corn syrup or honey
  • 3 large egg whites room temperature
  • ½ tsp cream of tartar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Place water, sugar, and corn syrup in a medium pot. Stir to combine.
  • Place a candy thermometer in the pot and heat over medium-high.
  • Do not stir anymore!
  • Place egg whites and cream of tartar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat to soft peaks (3-4 mins.) while sugar is heating. Then shut mixer.
  • As soon as the sugar reaches 240°F, remove it from the heat.
  • Turn mixer on low and VERY slowly/carefully pour the sugar syrup into the whites in a thin stream. (Try to keep it close to the side of the bowl so it doesn't hit the whisk and splatter. Stand back a bit while doing this!
  • Once the sugar is all in, turn to medium/high and whip 6 mins. until thick and fluffy like fluff!
  • Add in vanilla and whip 2 more mins.
  • Use right away or store for up to 2 weeks at room temperature covered well.
