How to Make Lela's Divinity
- In a clean, heatproof bowl, combine the egg whites and cream of tartar. Beat with an electric mixer until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- In a separate saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Continue cooking the sugar mixture without stirring, until it reaches 240°F (116°C) on a candy thermometer (firm-ball stage).
- Slowly pour the hot sugar syrup into the beaten egg whites, while beating constantly on low speed. Once incorporated, increase the speed to high and beat until the mixture is thick, glossy, and holds stiff peaks.
- Gently fold in the vanilla extract and nuts.
- Drop by rounded tablespoons onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Let the divinity cool completely at room temperature before serving. Enjoy!
