Ingredients

• 2 *2 large egg whites (or substitute powdered egg whites)
• 3 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the egg whites and confectioners' sugar in a medium-size mixing bowl and whip with an electric mixer on medium speed until opaque and shiny, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the lemon juice, this will thin out the icing. Beat for another couple of minutes until you reach the right spreading consistency for the cupcakes.
