Three eggs, 1 cup water, 3 cups sugar. Beat very light the whites of 3 eggs. Put sugar and water on to boil and let cook without stirring at all until on dropping a little from the spoon it flies in the air. Then it is done and ready to be taken off and poured slowly on to the beaten whites, beating them all the time it is being poured. Season with vanilla and continue beating until the icing is thick enough not to run when put between the layers of cake.
