Normal Royal Icing

The original recipe is here.

Ingredients

3 Tablespoons of Meringue Powder

4 Cups of sifted Confectioners (Powdered) Sugar

5 Tablespoons (substitute some of the water with flavoring if you prefer)

Directions

Mix sugar and meringue powder together. Add water and whip.

Stand Mixer: 7-10 minutes at low speed

Hand Mixer: 10-12 minutes at high speed

* For thicker icing, use less liquid. It is best to start thicker and slowly add water, than to add too much water and have to put more sugar in it.  Use clear flavorings to keep the white color.  This icing is good for 3D decorations.
