Royal Icing

Ingredients

  • 3 ounces of pasteurized egg whites (roughly 3 egg whites)
  • 1 tbsp of vanilla powder
  • 4 cups sifted powdered sugar (made with tapioca start not cornstarch)
  • 1-2 tbsp water (if needed)

Instructions

  1. To start, chill the mixing bowl and whisk attachment for 10 min. (Make sure the bowl has no oil; any oil in the bowl will prevent the egg whites from setting up).
  2. Remove bowl from freezer; add egg whites and cream of starter. Beat eggs on medium-low speed until frothy.
  3. Add powdered sugar (half at a time) at low speed until just combined. Turn the speed up to high and beat until glossy and lighter in color for 3-4 minutes. Icing should be thick but easily flow.
  4. Remove the majority and beat the remaining icing until stiff. If icing is too thick, add ½ tsp of water at a time.
  5. Dye as needed.
