In a saucepan, heat ¼ cup water, ¾ cup sugar, and ¾ cup corn syrup over medium heat. Whisk occasionally until the mixture reaches 240°F on a candy thermometer.
While the sugar mixture is heating, beat 2 egg whites and ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar in a stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium-high until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes.
When the sugar mixture reaches 240 degrees, remove from heat.
With your mixer on low, slowly add sugar mixture to the egg whites.
Once all of the sugar mixture is added, turn the mixer to medium-high and whip until stiff peaks form, about 7-9 minutes.
Stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla during the last minute of whipping. The mixture will be thick and glossy white.
Store in air tight container for up to two weeks.
