How to Make Royal Icing Recipe
Ingredients:
- 50ml cold water
- 300 grams icing sugar
- 10 grams of egg white powder
- Food coloring of your choice
Tools:
- Piping bags
- Piping nozzles
- Mixing bowl
- Hand mixer or kitchen machine
Instructions:
- Place the cold water in a mixing bowl.
- Add the icing sugar
- Add egg white powder on top (it is important to add this last to avoid the formation of lumps).
- Mix the ingredients together at a very low speed for about 8 minutes until a toothpaste-like consistency is reached.
- Remove about a third of the icing mix and set it aside in a container with a lid (this is the icing you use for decorating the details of your design).
- To the remaining icing mix, gradually add a little bit more water, mixing gently until the consistency of honey is reached. (This is the runnier version of your icing that will be used for flooding)
- Your royal icing is now ready to use. Learn here how to make the perfect iced biscuits!
Tips:
- For a smoother finish, be sure to use a fine icing sugar.
- If you are using disposable piping bags, be careful not to cut the end too large, as this will make it difficult to control the icing.
- If your icing becomes too thick, add a little bit more water. If it becomes too thin, add a little bit more icing sugar.
- Royal icing dries quickly, so be sure to work with it quickly.
