This recipe provides a quick and easy way to make royal icing, perfect for decorating cookies, cakes, and other treats.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, pasteurized egg whites, vanilla extract, and cream of tartar.
Using pasteurized egg whites ensures safety and convenience.
Beat the mixture on high speed using an electric mixer until the icing forms stiff peaks, about 7 to 10 minutes.
Ensure the bowl and beaters are clean and grease-free for the best results.
Use the icing immediately for decorating, keeping any unused portion covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying.
If the icing becomes too stiff, add a few drops of water to adjust the consistency.
