2 unbeaten egg whites
1 1/2 c. sugar
2 tsp. light corn syrup
1/3 c. cold water
Dash of salt
1 tsp. vanilla

Place all ingredients except vanilla in top of double boiler (don't place over boiling water); beat 1/2 minute at low speed on electric mixer to blend. Place over boiling water, but not touching water. Cook, beating constantly, until frosting forms stiff peaks, about 7 minutes. (Don't over cook.) Remove from boiling water.

If desired pour into mixing bowl. Add vanilla; beat until of spreading consistency, about 2 minutes. Frost tops and sides of two 8 or 9 inch layers.
