fluffy frosting
1 cup caster sugar
1/3 cup (80ml) water
2 egg whites
combine sugar and water in sml saucepan;stir over low heat; without boiling; until sugar dissolves
bring to boil; boil uncovered, without stirring, about 3min or till syrup is thick
remove from heat allow bubbles to subside.
test the syrup by dropping a tsp into cold water syrup should form a soft ball when rolled between fingers (114c on sugar therm)
syrup should not color if it does discard
just before it reaches correct temp, beat egg white till firm
when syrup is at temp allow bubbles to subside then with electric mixer on med speed pour a thin stream of syrup into egg white (slowly)
continue to beat on high speed about 5min till thick frosting should be barely warm by then
