Directions

- Beat egg whites in a large mixing bowl with the vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt until stiff but not dry.
- Pour hot syrup in a slow, steady stream over beaten egg whites, beating constantly. Continue beating until frosting stands in peaks and begins to lose its gloss, about 10 minutes. If necessary, thin with a few drops of cream.
