ICING:

2 c. sugar
1/2 c. boiling water
2 egg whites
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix water and sugar and boil until soft ball stage. Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. The secret of this is soon as sugar and water come to a good boil, start pouring by spoonfuls into egg whites beating all the time. Then add vanilla and beat with spoon until cool.
