Royal icing is a coating made by whipping egg white or powdered egg white with powdered sugar, which hardens once dry. Because it is not cooked, use pasteurized egg whites or powdered egg whites. It is used for decorating cookies, drawing fine designs, and attaching sugar figures. Its consistency is adjusted from fluid to firm depending on the task.
Where It’s Used
“Outline the cookies with royal icing and fill the center with a flooding consistency.”
