The powder creates a stable, light, and slightly elastic icing that is fantastic for precise lines, details, and outlines on cookies. If you're used to Royal Icing mix, you can expect a similar result with the recipe below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy meringue powder works so well for icing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of meringue powder and confectioners' sugar yields an icing with good binding and slight elasticity, making it less prone to breaking during piping. This makes it ideal for line work and decorations that require precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImportant: This recipe makes \u003cstrong\u003ethick icing\u003c\/strong\u003e. If you need thinner icing, always make the thick base first and then gradually thin it with water, drop by drop. If you start thin, you won't get enough volume in the icing, and it won't look as good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRoyal Icing recipe by Ellen\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e375 grams confectioners' sugar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18 grams meringue powder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50 ml lukewarm water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional: vanilla or lemon extract\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMix the meringue powder with the sugar and gently stir in the water and a few drops of extract.

A whisk adds too much air and creates air bubbles in your icing, which you preferably want to avoid for clean work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour icing is ready when it is white, fluffy, and firm. If you want thin icing, only add water very carefully after coloring your icing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen to sift\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're working with very fine piping tips such as PME 1.5 or smaller, sift both the meringue powder and the confectioners' sugar beforehand so that no small lumps get stuck in the tips. If you're using tipless piping bags, sifting is not necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAlso suitable for traditional meringue\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough this meringue powder is particularly popular for royal icing, you can also use it to make delicious meringues, meringue kisses, or pavlova.
