Ok let’s be honest. Royal icing is a necessary evil. You need it for its consistency but most people do not like the taste. For me taste is what it is all about so I doctor mine up to make it more flavorful.
Royal Icing
recipe by Wilton
Ingredients:
-
4 cups (about 1 lb.) confectioners' sugar
-
6 tablespoons warm water
-
1 teaspoon vanilla
-
1/4 teaspoon almond flavoring
Makes:
About 3 cups of icing.
Step 1
Beat all ingredients until icing forms peaks (7-10 minutes at low speed with a heavy-duty mixer, 10-12 minutes at high speed with a hand-held mixer).
Step 2
NOTE: Keep all utensils completely grease-free for proper icing consistency.
* For stiffer icing, use 1 tablespoon less water.
**When using large countertop mixer or for stiffer icing, use 1 tablespoon less water.
Thinned Royal Icing: To thin for pouring, add 1 teaspoon water per cup of royal icing. Use grease-free spoon or spatula to stir slowly. Add 1/2 teaspoon water at a time until you reach proper consistency.
