Royal Icing
classic, easily applied and with a nice flow.
- 4 cups powdered/confectioners sugar I do not sift.
- 3 tablespoons meringue powder
- 9 tablespoons warm, filtered water
- gel coloring if you'd like something other than white
Using a standing mixer with a paddle attachment, place all of the ingredients, minus the coloring, in the bowl, and start mixing at a low speed until all fo the ingredients have come together. Increase the speed to medium-high and allow to mix for 5 minutes. Mix in the desired color.Keep covered or in a closed container before use, as any air will dry it out to stiffen.
