Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp Meringue Powder
- 4 Cups sifted confectioners’ sugar
(about 1 lb) - 3 Tbsp water
- 3 Tbsp clear vanilla
Directions
Beat all ingredients at low speed for 7-10 minutes until icing forms peaks. This recipe makes a stiff royal icing. Water can be added to make a thinner icing – the consistency for flooding is like thick paint. Stiff icing is used for cookie borders/outlines while thinner icing is used to fill-in border areas.
This icing is commonly used for decorating cookies and hardens when dry.
