Ingredients

3 large egg whites 

2 teaspoons light corn syrup 

1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar 

1/3 cup cold water 

1 1/2 cups sugar 

Preparation

In a medium saucepan, bring 2 inches of water to a simmer.

In a large heatproof mixing bowl, combine reserved egg whites, light corn syrup, cream of tartar, water, and sugar.

Place bowl over simmering water (it should not touch water); with a handheld mixer, beat on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 7 minutes.

Remove bowl from heat; beat 3 to 5 minutes more to cool. Use immediately.
