Royal icing
Royal icing is used in small amounts to pipe eyes and fine details, and also to fix embellishments. You can make your own, described below, or use a commercial powder mix. You can use fresh egg white or dried egg powder. If you are using a dried powder, add water and soak for a minimum of forty minutes or even overnight in a refrigerator. When ready to use, strain the mixture first.
you will need…
• 500g (18oz) sifted icing sugar
• 2 egg whites, or 15g (1⁄2oz) dried egg albumen powder mixed with 75ml (21⁄2fl oz) water
1 Sift the icing sugar directly into a bowl and add the fresh egg whites or strained soaked dried egg whites. Using an electric mixer, mix slowly on a low speed for five minutes until the icing has reached a ‘stiff peak’ stage.
2 It is now ready to use or store. It can be stored in the refrigerator for two to three days covered with cling film and in a lidded box. To colour the icing, simply add some drops of colouring with a cocktail stick and mix well, adding more drops until the shade is as you desire.
ready, steady, go…
Save time by keeping a box of ready-made royal icing powder in the store cupboard. You can make up very small amounts and use immediately. Just follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
