Steps:
- In a small saucepan, combine sugar with 1 cup water; cook, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until it registers 236 degrees (soft ball stage) on a candy thermometer. Brush down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush to prevent crystallization.
- Blend eggs in a blender jar. With machine running, very slowly add hot sugar syrup until combined, being careful to not scramble the eggs. Let cool to room temperature.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Gradually add syrup mixture until incorporated. Add vanilla, and beat until desired consistency.

archie.c85@aol.comI didn't have any problems with the recipe, but I found that the frosting was a bit too thick for my liking. I added a little bit of milk and it thinned it out perfectly.
