1 1/2 c  sugar
 1/2 ts light corn syrup
 2/3 c water;boiling
 2 egg whites; stiffly beaten
 1 ts 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 (240F).
 Pour syrup in fine stream over egg whites, beating constantly. Add
 vanilla. Continue beating with rotary beater 10 to 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-inch layers.
