Royal Icing

ROYAL ICING

From Sweet Sugar Belle

Ingredients:

2 lbs (one bag) confectioner’s sugar (907g)

5 Tbsp meringue powder (53g)

2-3 tsp oil-free extract or emulsion

1/2-3/4 C warm water

Intructions:

Stir flavor into half the water.

Use paddle attachment to mix sugar and meringue.

While mixing on low, slowly add the water/flavoring mix to the dry ingredients. 

Continue to add the remaining water until the mixture reaches a thick, honey like consistency. At this point, turn the mixer to medium speed and whip 2-4 minutes until this icing is thick and fluffy. Stop mixing when the icing is thick enough to form a soft peak.
