Divinity



by Roma

2 c. sugar
1/4 c. corn syrup
1/2 c. water
1 egg white, beaten stiff
nuts (optional)
flavor (optional)

Cook sugar, corn syrup, water and vanilla to soft ball stage.  Pour into egg white and stir in.  Add nuts and flavor if desired.  Drop onto wax paper by spoonfuls.

~When Karma and Eileen were  little,  the doctors felt egg yolks were good for kids, but that some children were allergic to egg whites, so Mom always separated the eggs and stirred the yolks into their baby cereal.  This meant we always had lots of extra egg whites.  Sometimes Mom used them to make angel food cake, but my favorite was when she made divinity.
