unknown
List of Ingredients
3 tablespoons Meringue Powder (available with cake decorating supplies)
1 pound Confectioner's sugar (3-3/4 cups)
7 tablespoons Water lukewarm
3/4 teaspoon Cream of tartar Recipe
Combine all ingredients; mix together at low speed, then beat at medium speed until very soft peaks form. For a lighter icing, add an additional tablespoon water and beat. Keep covered with a damp cloth at all times. This icing can be kept indefinitely in the refrigerator.To restore texture, simply rebeat. Warning: Any grease will break icing down. (Not satisfactory for all-over frosting of cakes). Royal icing is smooth and hard-drying, ideal for flowers made in advance. Add glycerine, if desired, to keep icing soft.
