Royal Icing
Ingredients
4
cups
confectioners’ sugar
3
tablespoons
meringue powder
1/2
teaspoon
cream of tartar
6
tablespoons
warm water and more if needed
Instructions
In the bowl of an electric mixer using the whip attachment, blend the sugar, meringue powder, and cream of tartar on low speed until well combined.
On medium-high speed, add the water and put the mixer on high speed for approximately 6-7 minutes and mix until the icing is light and fluffy.
Add more water by the teaspoonful to thin the frosting out, if necessary.
To prevent icing from drying out, cover bowl with a moist paper towel or plastic wrap until ready to use.
