Ingredients

6 tablespoons water

1 1/4 cups light corn syrup

3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar

4 large egg whites

Pinch salt

Pinch cream of tartar

2 tablespoons vanilla extract

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer, bring the water, corn syrup and 3/4 cup sugar to 246 degrees.
  2. In the meantime, in a completely clean, dry mixing bowl, with and electric mixer, whisk the egg whites, salt and cream of tartar until creamy and foamy, about 2 minutes. Still whisking, sprinkle in the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar and continue to whisk until the whites hold very soft peaks, about 2 minutes. While mixing on slow speed, carefully drizzle in the hot syrup. Turn the mixer to high and whisk until thick, fluffy and just warm, about 7 minutes. Turn the mixer to low and whisk in the vanilla.

Worked great - much better than store fluff - much silkier! I left the eggs out a little to get closer to room temperature, and it's worth noting for people who've never done candy making stuff that the temperature will rise to a certain point (around 225 for me) and then hover for a while before it slowly... creeps... up!
