Boiled Icing

Ingredients

One pound of sugar and the whites of three-eggs.

First boil the sugar with a little wTater; when it is ready to candy, or will spin in threads when dropping from the end of a spoon, take it off the fire, and while it is boiling hot add the whites of three eggs, well beaten, stirring them in as fast as possible. Flavor with lemon or vanilla, and it is ready for use. Spread it over the cake as soon as taken from the oven. The icing made with the white of one egg is quite sufficient to frost an ordinary sized cake.
