Do you have a recipe for Seven Minute Icing?

Seven Minute Icing

This icing is an easier version of Boiled White Icing. Use a hand mixer if you have one, to beat the frosting over the simmering water.

2 egg whites
1-1/2 cups sugar
5 Tbsp. cold water
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
1-1/2 tsp. light corn syrup
1 tsp. vanilla

Place these ingredients except vanilla in a double boiler over rapidly boiling water. Beat them constantly with a hand mixer or wire whisk for seven minutes, until the icing thickens. Remove from heat and add vanilla.

Continue beating the icing until it reaches spreading consistency.
