Delicious Karo Syrup Frosting Recipes

GLOSSY ROYAL ICING

Steps:

• Stir warm water, corn syrup, and almond extract together in a small bowl until corn syrup and extract have dissolved. Place confectioners' sugar into a separate bowl and add liquid ingredients. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until royal icing is smooth. Store in a lidded container for up to a week; stir thoroughly before using.

SUGAR COOKIE ICING

Steps:

• Stir the powdered sugar and the milk until smooth.
• Beat in corn syrup and vanilla until icing is smooth and glossy.
• If it's too thick, add more corn syrup.
• Divide icing into separate bowls and stir in food coloring as desired.
• You can dip the cookies, paint them with a paint brush or spread them using a knife or the back of a spoon.

PERFECT AND DELICIOUS ROYAL ICING

Steps:

• Whip water and meringue powder on high speed in a large bowl using an electric mixer until fluffy and soft peaks form, 7 to 10 minutes. Gradually add confectioners' sugar, corn syrup, shortening, and vanilla extract while mixing on low speed. Increase speed back to high and beat until well-combined and smooth, about 3 minutes.

PERFECT SEVEN-MINUTE FROSTING

Steps:

• In a small, heavy-bottom saucepan, combine 3/4 cup sugar, corn syrup, and 4 tablespoons water. Place over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar has dissolved, about 4 minutes. Rub a bit of the mixture between your fingers, making sure any graininess has disappeared. Raise heat, and bring to a boil without stirring. Continue boiling, occasionally washing down the sides of the pan with a pastry brush dipped in cold water to prevent sugar from crystallizing, until a candy thermometer registers 230 degrees, about 5 minutes. (Depending on the humidity, this can take anywhere from 4 to 10 minutes.) Remove the syrup from heat (temperature will keep rising).
• Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer, whisk the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 2 1/2 minutes. Gradually add remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. With mixer on medium-low speed, pour syrup in a steady stream down side of bowl (to avoid splattering).
• Beat the frosting on high speed until cool, about seven minutes. It should be thick and shiny. Use immediately.

DELICIOUS KARO SYRUP FROSTING

Steps:

• In a small bowl, beat egg whites, cream of tartar and salt at high speed until soft peaks form.
• Gradually beat in sugar until smooth and glossy.
• Gradually beat in corn syrup and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
• If desired, beat in food coloring of your choice. Makes enough frosting for 9-inch layer cake or 9 x 13-inch cake.
