Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3/4 ts Unflavored gelatin
1 tb Cold water
1/2 c Nonfat dry milk powder
1/2 c Ice water
2 tb Confectioner's sugar
1 t Vanilla

A fluffy, all-purpose topping that can double as a
filling. Properly whipped, it will be stiff enough to
mound or pipe through a pastry bag. Soften the gelatin
in the cold water in a small heatproof measuring cup.
Set the cup in a pan of simmering water and heat about
4 minutes until the gelatin dissolves; remove from the
heat. Combine the dry milk, ice water, and
confectioner's sugar in the chilled small bowl of an
electric mixer, then beat with chilled beaters at
medium speed until foamy. With the motor running,
carefully pour the gelatin down the side of the bowl
so that it doesn't hit the beaters and spatter all
over. Continue beating at medium speed for 7 to 10
minutes until it is the texture of whipped cream, then
beat in the vanilla. If not using immediately, store
in the refrigerator. If the mixture should deflate on
standing, simply beat until it again resembles whipped
cream. Makes 3 cups
