Royal Icing

This is the Wilton recipe with Meringue powder. The icing is good for piping on cookies. If you want flood consistency icing, you need to add more water, half tablespoon at a time, until the icing can be dropped off on surface and smoothed out in 15 seconds or so.

Ingredients

Meringue Powder - 3 TBSP
Confectioners' sugar - 4 Cups (about 1 lb.)
Warm water - 6 TBSP

Steps

Add meringue powder and icing sugar, slowly add half the water and turn on the mixer to medium. Add the rest of the water and turn mixer to full speed and allow it to mix for around 8-10 minutes, or until icing is soft and fluffy.

Make sure to use grease free spoon or spatula to stir.
