Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups sugar |
1/2 cup plus 1 teaspoon water |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 tablespoon bourbon whiskey |
1 teaspoon lemon extract |
2 egg whites |
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar |
Directions:
1. Combine sugar, water, and salt in a medium-size heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until mixture comes to a boil and sugar is dissolved. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until mixture reaches soft ball stage (240°). Stir in bourbon and flavoring.
2. Beat egg whites (at room temperature) until foamy; add cream of tartar. Beat at medium speed of electric mixer, slowly pouring hot syrup in a thin stream over egg whites. Turn mixer to high speed, and continue beating until stiff peaks form and frosting is thick. Spread immediately on cooled cake.
