Ingredients
- 5 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 tblsp and 1 1/2 teas cream of tartar
- 1/2 cup egg whites
Preparation
Step 1
1. Sift the sugar after measuring it.
2. Add the egg whites and cream of tartar to the sugar mixture. Combine the ingredients with a hand mixer on low speed, then beat them on high for two to five minutes, until they're snow white and fluffy.
3. keep your icing bowl covered with a damp towel to retain moisture; the mixture crusts quickly when it's exposed to air.
