From Family Cookbook-White Mountain Icing

The family cookbook contains recipes, my Gramps & Granny used often and is the type of food I grew up on. Good ole Southern food like my Gramps dumplings, to Grannies pecan pie.

I’m writing this recipe like Granny did and including a photo of it at the end.

White Mountain Icing

2 cups granulated sugar

2 tbsp White Karo Syrup

1/2 teaspoon Vanilla

2 egg whites

1/2 cup water

Cook sugar, water, and syrup until it spins a 6-8 inch thread. Beat egg whites until stiff, pour hot mixture into the egg whites slowly. Beating all the while by hand. Beat until icing stands in stiff peaks. Stir in Vanilla and spread on cake.
