Combine sugar, cream of tartar, salt, and water in a heavy
saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly,
until clear. Cook, without stirring, to soft ball stage
(240 degrees). Beat egg whites until soft peaks form;
continue to beat, slowly adding syrup mixture. Add
flavorings; continue beating until stiff peaks form and
frosting is thick enough to spread. Yield: 7 cups.
