Preparation

Step 1

Beat all ingredients until icing forms peaks (7-10 minutes at low speed with a heavy-duty mixer, 10-12 minutes at high speed with a hand-held mixer).

Recipe makes 3 cups.

NOTE: Keep all utensils completely grease-free for proper icing consistency.

For stiffer icing, use 1 tablespoon less water.

When using large counter-top mixer or for stiffer icing, use 1 tablespoon less water.

Thinned Royal Icing: To thin for pouring, add 1 teaspoon water per cup of royal icing. Use grease-free spoon or spatula to stir slowly. Add ½ teaspoon water at a time until you reach proper consistency.

PIPING GEL can be added to give it a little more pull, elasticity to icing, especially for writing and icicles. It also aids in adhering to Sugar Molds. Just add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon to each 1 cup of Royal Icing.
