Description

Ingredients

• ½ cup honey
• 2 egg whites, eggs at room temperature will be easier to separate
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• ½ teaspoon vanilla (optional)

Directions

• Heat honey in a saucepan over medium heat 5-10 minutes; until mixture bubbles and darkens.
• Meanwhile, separate two eggs, being very careful to avoid getting any yolk in with the whites.
• Add the salt to the egg whites.
• Put two whites in a stand mixer with a whip attachment, or use a hand held mixer and a bowl held steady by a helper.
• Mix starting on medium.
• As the eggs start to froth, turn the mixer up to high.
• At the same time you turn the mixer up to high, start pouring the honey in with a thin steady stream, taking about 1 minute to pour in the hot honey.
• Continue mixing on high as the frosting fluffs and thickens and is cool enough to touch, 2-3 minutes.
• Add the optional vanilla while mixing.
• Use a spatula or butter knife to frost cupcakes, or spoon into a piping bag and pipe onto cupcakes for a more decorative look. The icing goes on the cupcakes or cake easiest if used within a couple hours of making.
