Boiled Frosting Recipe

From the Kitchen of: Pepper
Source: unknown

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup water

1 egg white

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Cook the sugar and water together, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Then, without stirring, cook until the syrup will form a thread when dropped from the tip of a spoon (or until it reaches 238 degrees F.).
Remove from the fire and cool while beating the egg white till stiff, then pour the syrup in a thin stream over the stiff eggwhite, beating the mixture constantly, until thick enough to spread. Add vanilla and beat in.
