Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Gather your egg whites, cream of tartar, powdered sugar, and any desired food coloring paste.
-
Whip Egg Whites: In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg whites and cream of tartar. Using a mixer set to medium speed, beat the mixture until it becomes frothy and slightly thickened.
-
Incorporate Powdered Sugar: Gradually add half of the powdered sugar to the frothy egg white mixture, ensuring it is well combined.
-
Beat to Stiff Peaks: Add the remaining powdered sugar and increase the mixer speed to high. Continue beating the mixture for 5-7 minutes or until it forms stiff peaks. This indicates that the icing is thick and will hold its shape when piped or spread.
-
Color the Icing: Once the icing has reached the desired consistency, add in the paste food coloring. Adjust the amount according to your preference, mixing until the desired color is achieved.
-
Decorate: Your royal icing is now ready to use! Spread it onto cookies or cakes using a spatula, or pipe it onto treats using a piping bag for intricate designs.
-
Storage Tip: Royal icing tends to dry quickly when exposed to air. To prevent it from hardening, cover it with a damp cloth when not in use.
