Basic Seven Minute Frosting And/Or Peanut Butter Frosting

• 2 egg whites
• 1 12 cups granulated sugar
• 12 cup water
• 1 tablespoon white corn syrup
• 12 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

1. In the top bowl of a double boiler off the heat, combine all the ingredients except the vanilla.
2. Beat the mixture for about 1 minute to mix thoroughly.
3. Rest the bowl over simmering water over medium heat and whisk constantly for 7 minutes, or until frosting shows stiff peaks and has tripled in volume.
4. Lift the pan off the water and whisk vigorously until frosting has cooled and is thick and glossy.
5. NOTE:: Add 1/2 cup of smooth peanut butter to the finished frosting.
6. This stays at its fluffiest if you first whisk together the peanut butter and about a cup of frosting.
7. Then fold in the rest of the frosting gently with a rubber spatula.
