Honey and Egg White Topping or Frosting

"Quite a way-out little recipe! Can be used either as cake frosting, or on muffins, scones or crumpets. Delicious!! The servings given are guesswork, as it depends on so many factors: is it a frosting, or are you using it on English muffins? Or scones? Hard question, that."

directions

  • Heat the honey in microwave or on stove until warm, and keep warm enough to be runny.
  • With electric beater beat the egg whites until foamy, add the cream of tartar, and whisk until really firm, and peaks will stay up if you take out beaters to test.
  • Now pour the runny honey in slowly while beating all the time (honey in left hand, Priscilla!), add vanilla, and beat until thick.
  • Stir in the nuts.
  • Use immediately or soon after!

I'm a widow, retired, and I love cooking. I live on the coast in South Africa and I love seafood. You're welcome to my recipes (all kinds, definitely not just seafood!) Just remember that no recipe is ever cast in stone -- adjust to your taste! The photo was taken at a rustic seaside restaurant on our West Coast, approx 1 year ago (2016).
