Ingredients

1 lb Sugar

4 oz Water

1/2 lb Egg whites

1 lb Butter, soft

4 oz shortening

1 tsp Lemon juice

1/2 tbsp Vanilla

Directions

1. Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar.

2. Continue to boil until the syrup reaches a temperature of 240°F

3. While the syrup is boiling, beat the egg whites in a clean, grease-free bowl, using the whip attachment, until they form firm, moist peaks. Do not overbeat.

4. As soon as the syrup reaches 240°F, pour it very slowly into the egg whites while the mixer is running at medium speed.

5. Continue to beat until the meringue is cool and forms stiff peaks.

6. With the mixer still running at medium speed, begin adding the butter, a little at a time. Add it just as fast as it can be absorbed by the meringue.

7. When all the butter is beaten in, add the shortening in the same way.

8. Beat in the lemon juice and vanilla.
