Royal Icing

Recipes Help Groceries Timers

2 lb {908 g}

icing sugar

1/2 tsp {1.5 g}

of cream of tartar

150 g

pasteurized egg whites (30g. per egg)

2 TBL {30 g}

fresh lemon juice or TT (optional)

0 g

water

0 g

gel food colouring

Combine all ingredients, except for fresh lemon juice, into the Kitchen Aid Mixer and mix on low until a paste (to prevent sugar from flying out of the bowl).

Then turn to high and beat for a few minutes longer until the icing is a bright white. Add lemon juice if using or other flavouring.

Separate icing into smaller bowls if colouring. Add gel colour to get desired colour and then add a tsp. of water at a time to get desired consistency. Icing that is not being used should have plastic wrap placed on the top to seal and prevent a crusty edge from forming.

This recipe will more than cover 90 cookies, mixing several colours.
