2 egg whites
1-1/2 cups sugar
1/4 t. cream of tartar
1/3 cup water
Place over boiling water and beat with a rotary beater until mixture holds its shape. Fold in 1-1/2 t vanilla and 1 cup mini marshmellows. Beat until marshmellows are melted and frosting holds stiff peaks.
I love how she spells marshmallows, like everything's mellow! But making this frosting is anything but mellow as you have to work over the hot stove until the consistency is right. This is the frosting I always begged my mom to make when I was a girl because I just loved it! I think I cooked it a little too long as it didn't have the softness and creaminess I remember, a little too stiff, but still tasty though. Just don't make this in the dead of summer when it's too hot to cook.
