Royal Icing

Ingredients

3 level Tablespoons of Meringue Powder OR 3 Egg whites at room temperature but don't add the water 1 lb. confectionery sugar 3 � water tablespoons (slightly less than � cup) � tsp. cream of tartar

Directions

Place all ingredients in a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer for 7 - 10 minutes. After it has been mixed you may add additional water to thin it down for other purposes, such as color flow. Use stiff for flowers and other decorating purposes.

Keep the bowl covered with a damp cloth at all times. This icing hardens when exposed to air. Homemaking_Life by Gina
