Cooking time: 10 min

Ingredients:

2 egg whites
1 tsp lemon zest
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1-1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 tbsp cold water
2 tbsp light corn syrup

Cooking Directions:

Combine all ingredients, except vanilla and lemon zest, in the top of a double boiler or bowl. Bring water in the bottom of the double boiler or saucepan (if using a bowl) to a simmer. Place top of the double boiler or the bowl over the simmering water. Immediately begin whipping mixture 3 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.
