Royal Icing Recipe (3 Ingredient)
Description
The recipe beats room temperature egg whites to a foamy stage, then gradually incorporates confectioners sugar and vanilla extract while mixing continuously. Increasing the beat speed to high develops a shiny, smooth mixture of firm peaks suitable for decorating. The egg whites provide the structure and sheen, while the sugar sweetens and thickens the icing. Vanilla adds a mild flavor.
Because it relies on raw egg whites, this icing is best used immediately or with pasteurized eggs for food safety. It is suitable for detailed piping work on cookies or cakes where a hard drying finish is desirable. Optional food coloring can be added for varied decorating options.
Ingredients
- 3 egg room temperature, large, whites
- 1 lb confectioners sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Using a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites until they are foamy.
- Reduce the speed to low and gradually add the confectioner's sugar and vanilla.
- Increase the speed again and beat until the mixture is shiny.
- Add food coloring if desired, then transfer the icing to a piping bag and decorate away!
