Ingredients
- 1-1/4 cups sifted powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon meringue powder
- 2 tablespoons warm water
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Preparation
Step 1
In large mixer bowl combine all ingredients. Beat at low speed until moistened. Increase speed to medium. Beat until stiff and glossy (2 to 4 minutes). If too stiff, add additional warm water.
Cover icing with damp paper towel until ready to use or cover with plastic food wrap and refrigerate up to 2 weeks. To restore texture, allow icing to reach room temperature, then rebeat.
TIP: Royal icing hardens when it dries and is used for piping decorations on cooled cookies.
