Recipe for Royal Icing using Meri-White

The following recipe makes approximately 1kg of Royal Icing.

• 20g Meri-White
• 133ml Luke warm water
• 800g Sieved icing sugar

Dissolve the Meri-white in the water in a grease free bowl.
Add half the sugar and mix by hand until completely combined.
Add the remaining icing sugar a little at a time. Use your mixer with the beater attachment and beat on the slowest speed until the icing is at the desired consistency.
To prevent drying out cover the icing with a clean damp tea towel and wrap with Clingfilm/polythene.
Sometimes this icing softens after about an hour, you can always add a little extra icing sugar and re-beat if necessary.
