A Hispanic type of frosting.
- 1 cup of egg whites (7-9 eggs)
- 2 cups of sugar
- ½ cup of water( to wet sugar some could be left)
- 1 tbsp. of vanilla extract .
Preparation
From the 2 cups of sugar reserve 2 tbsp. The other sugar put it in a pan wet it with water, put it on the burner at medium temp.
Start beating the egg whites until they get fluffy like snow. Add the 2 tbsp. of sugar you reserve.
Check the sugar you left on burner and check if it is caramel. Then you get a cup of cold water and get a little drop of caramel and drop it in the cold water and if it turns into a ball, then it is ready to be mixed slowly with the egg whites that are still being beaten.
Now add the vanilla extract and then keep beating it till it cools off.
