ROYAL ICING RECIPE
{lemon}
Ingredients:
-
2 pounds confectioners sugar
-
5 tablespoons meringue powder
-
1/2-3/4 cup freshly squeezed and strained lemon juice – or you can simply use water
-
1 tablespoons vanilla extract
-
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
Instructions:
-
Add meringue powder to your mixing bowl.
-
Pour in ¼ C of your lemon (or water) and vanilla extract to bowl.
-
Whisk mixture until frothy.
-
Add in powdered sugar.
-
Using paddle attachment, mix on low until everything starts to come together. Mixture will be thick. Add small amounts of your lemon (or water) until desired consistency.
-
Turn off mixer and scrape bowl. Then add in corn syrup. Return to mixing for 3-5 minutes. Icing should become light and fluffy.
Notes: I usually use my icing within a couple days, but you may store in fridge for about 10-14 days. Icing may separate, but you can mix it up and it will be fine.
