Ingredients
  

For the Syrup

  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar Optional but beneficial for fluffiness.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Adds delightful flavor.

Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1/3 cup water, 3/4 cup sugar, and 3/4 cup light corn syrup. Heat without stirring until it reaches 240°F.
  2. While syrup is cooking, beat 3 large egg whites and 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
  3. Once syrup reaches 240°F, carefully pour it into the whipped egg whites in a slow, steady stream.

  5. Allow the fluff to cool completely before use or store in an airtight container.

Ensure all equipment used is grease-free for best results. Room temperature egg whites whip better. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or freeze it for longer storage.
