Frosting for Gingerbread houses

Frosting for Gingerbread Houses

3        egg whites

1         box powdered sugar (4 cups)

1         t. cream of tartar

Beat eggs until foamy.  Add sugar and cream of tartar slowly.  Keep mixing until thick and stiff enough to hold a sharp line when cut through with a knife.

Do not refrigerate frosting.  Keep frosting covered with damp paper towels or cover with lid to keep from drying out.
