Basic Seven Minute Frosting And/Or Peanut Butter Frosting

1. 1

   In the top bowl of a double boiler off the heat, combine all the ingredients except the vanilla.

2. 2

   Beat the mixture for about 1 minute to mix thoroughly.

3. 3

   Rest the bowl over simmering water over medium heat and whisk constantly for 7 minutes, or until frosting shows stiff peaks and has tripled in volume.

4. 4

   Lift the pan off the water and whisk vigorously until frosting has cooled and is thick and glossy.

5. 5

   NOTE:: Add 1/2 cup of smooth peanut butter to the finished frosting.

6. 6

   This stays at its fluffiest if you first whisk together the peanut butter and about a cup of frosting.

   Then fold in the rest of the frosting gently with a rubber spatula.
