MY FAVORITE ROYAL ICING



My Favorite Royal Icing image

Here is my classic easy royal icing made with meringue powder. It's easy to work with, sets quickly, and won't break your teeth when it dries. It has the most delicious taste and texture and makes decorating sugar cookies fun and simple. Use this traditional royal icing recipe for both flooding and outlining your sugar cookies.

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 cups (480g) confectioners' sugar, sifted (I use and recommend Domino brand)
3 Tablespoons meringue powder (not plain egg white powder)
9-10 Tablespoons room temperature water
optional for decorating: gel food coloring (I love this food coloring kit)

Steps:

  • Watch the video of the icing above so you get an idea of what the final consistency should be.
  • Pour confectioners' sugar, meringue powder, and 9 Tablespoons of water into a large bowl. Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat icing ingredients together on high speed for 1.5 - 2 minutes. When lifting the whisk up off the icing, the icing should drizzle down and smooth out within 5-10 seconds. If it's too thick, beat in more water 1 Tablespoon at a time. I usually need 10 Tablespoons but on particularly dry days, I use up to 12-14 Tablespoons. Keep in mind that the longer you beat the royal icing, the thicker it becomes. If your royal icing is too thin, just keep beating it to introduce more air OR you can add more confectioners' sugar.
  • When applied to cookies or confections in a thin layer, icing completely dries in about 2 hours at room temperature. If icing consistency is too thin and runny, it will take longer to dry. If the icing is applied very thick on cookies, it will also take longer to dry. If you're layering royal icing onto cookies for specific designs and need it to set quickly, place cookies in the refrigerator to help speed it up. See blog post above for make-ahead and freezing instructions.

ROYAL ICING FOR SUGAR COOKIES



Royal Icing for Sugar Cookies image

If you're decorating cookies using our royal icing for sugar cookies and have a compromised immune system, we recommend instead using meringue powder, found in the baking aisle of most markets, instead of raw egg whites.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Yield Makes 2 1/3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 box confectioners' sugar (1 pound)
5 tablespoons meringue powder, or 2 large egg whites

Steps:

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine sugar and meringue powder. Mixing on low speed, add a scant 1/2 cup water. For a thinner consistency, usually used for flooding, add more water. A thicker consistency is generally used for outlining and adding details. Mix until icing holds a ribbonlike trail on the surface of the mixture for 5 seconds when you raise the paddle.

ROYAL ICING WITH EGG WHITES



Royal Icing with Egg Whites image

This decorating icing is very stiff and hardens as it dries.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Yield Makes about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 2

3 large eggs
4 cups confectioners' sugar (one 1-pound box), sifted

Steps:

  • Place egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat using the whisk attachment until frothy. Add 1/4 cup of the sugar and mix well. Gradually add the remaining 3 3/4 cups sugar, beating on low speed and scraping down the sides.
  • Increase the speed to high and continue to beat the mixture until soft peaks form, about 5 minutes. At this stage, the icing will be very thick. Add water, a few drops at a time, to thin it to the consistency appropriate for the kind of decorating you are doing. As a rule, the icing should be stiffer for lettering, more malleable for making petals -- but you will need to experiment to find the consistency that works best for you. Store icing at room temperature in an airtight glass or metal container. It should be used within two days.
