Royal Icing

• 3 TBS meringue powder
• 4 cups sifted powdered sugar
• 6 TBS water

Beat all ingredients at low speed for 7-10 minutes or (10-12 min. with a hand mixer) until peaks form.

Be sure to pipe from a bag strictly for royal icing (disposable bags work fine too). The grease from buttercream icing will cause this to break down.
