Maple Icing Recipe 1 ingredients

• 1¾ cups maple sirup
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 egg white

To prepare this Maple Icing Recipe 1, first boil the sugar and sirup together till a heavy thread is formed when a spoon is dipped in the sirup and lifted, or to 244 degree F. Then pour it in a fine stream on the beaten egg white, beating the white as the sirup is poured in. Set the bowl which contains the mixture on a dish of hot water, and beat the mixture thoroughly till the egg stiffens somewhat, then spread on the cake. One-half cup of coarse chopped nuts may be mixed with the frosting, if desired. Also a little vanilla flavoring may be used.
