3 large egg whites
3/4 cup sugar
pinch of salt
1/3 cup water
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Use a double boiler or a mixing bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, combine the 3 large egg whites, 3/4 cup sugar, pinch salt and 1/3 cup water. Cook frosting over medium, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes or when frosting is checked with a thermometer it registers 150. Transfer frosting to a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium-high until frosting is glossy, stiff peaks form, do not over beat about 3 minutes; reduce speed to low, add 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, beat just until combined. Frost cake immediately.
