(by Shirley McNevich)

2 tsp. vanilla
2 egg whites
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar

In a saucepan over medium heat add water, white sugar and cream of tartar--cook/stir until all sugar has dissolved and liquid is bubbling. Remove from heat. In a mixer add egg whites and vanilla--beat on high until stiff peaks form. Turn mixer speed to low and slowly pour sugar mixture into the egg white mixture--beat until mixed, then beat on medium speed for 8 minutes or until mixture is spreadable.
