  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2                    egg whites
   2      teaspoons     water
     1/8  teaspoon      cream of tartar
   3      cups          confectioners' sugar

Using an electric mixer on high, beat the egg whites, water and cream of
tartar until frothy.  Gradually add the sugar and continue beating until the
mixture is of spreading consistency.  You may need to add more sugar.  The
icing should be firm enough to hold a soft peak.  Cover with a damp towel to
prevent from drying out.  May be stored in an airtight container for later
use.
