BOILED ICING
- 1 cup sugar,
- ⅓ cup water,
- ¼ teaspoonful cream of tartar,
- 1 teaspoonful flavoring,
- 1 egg white (large).
Beat white of egg until frothy, add the cream of tartar and beat until stiff and dry. Make syrup of sugar and water. When it has reached the honey stage, or drops heavily from spoon, add 5 tablespoonfuls slowly to egg, beating in well. Then cook the remainder of the syrup until it threads and pour over the egg, beating thoroughly. Add flavoring and beat until cool enough to spread.
