Ingredients

3 cups brown sugar
3/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 egg whites, beaten stiff
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps

Combine brown sugar, water, and salt in a saucepan. Do not stir.
Cook the mixture to the hard ball stage (approximately 250–265°F / 121–130°C on a candy thermometer).
Beat the egg whites until stiff.
Slowly pour the hot syrup over the beaten egg whites, continuing to beat as you pour.
Add vanilla and beat until the frosting holds its shape.
Use immediately to frost a cake — or drop spoonfuls onto waxed paper to set as candy.
