Royal Icing (for Gingerbread Cookie Ornaments)
Meringue powder is available at bulk or cake-decorating supply stores. For decorating, set aside 2 cups (500 mL) of this icing for the Icing Paint and use the remainder for piping the outlines.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup meringue powder
- 1/2 cup water
- 4-2/3 cups icing sugar
Preparation
In bowl, beat meringue powder with water until foamy, about 2 minutes. Add icing sugar; beat until stiff, about 9 minutes. Cover with damp cloth to prevent drying out.
