Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar or 1 tablespoon white corn syrup
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 egg whites
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Directions
Place sugar, cream of tartar or corn syrup, salt, water, and egg whites in the top of a double boiler. Beat with a handheld electric mixer for 1 minute. Place pan over boiling water, being sure that boiling water does not touch the bottom of the top pan. (If this happens, it could cause your frosting to become grainy). Beat constantly on high speed with electric mixer for 7 minutes. Beat in vanilla.

ABSOLUTELY DIVINE! Mama is 7 months pregnant and craving a lot of sweets! Our family of 6 has never tried anything like this. Thanks again Mrs Paula for another hit! Like I always say you can't go wrong with a Paula Deen recipe!

For 7 minute frosting/marshmallow fluff frosting/fluffy white frosting, this is the best recipe out there. I, personally, am not a huge fan of this type of frosting; but my husband is, and this one is his favorite.

The recipe is good, and the result is tasty, but when I followed the directions, I didn't get frosting... I got marshmallow fluff
