Royal Icing
Description
This Royal Icing recipe begins by whipping liquid pasteurized egg whites until frothy, creating a base that when combined with vanilla adds subtle flavor. Powdered sugar is incorporated one cup at a time to build volume and thickness. Whipping on high speed for 5 to 7 minutes develops a stiff consistency suitable for intricate decorating or flooding cookie surfaces.
Because it dries hard, royal icing is often used for detailed decoration and can be colored or thinned as needed. Storing the finished icing at room temperature with plastic wrap pressed onto the surface prevents crusting or drying out between uses. The provided yield is approximately two cups, suitable for multiple decorated treats.

- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 cups powdered sugar
Instructions

- Store at room temperature in an airtight container with plastic wrap directly on the royal icing to prevent drying out.
Notes

- Store royal icing at room temperature with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface to prevent drying.
