ROYAL ICING
RECIPES
and
What To Do With Them

THICK Royal Icing Ingredients:
3-3/4 cups Confectioners Sugar (white powdered sugar) -- Sifted
3 large Egg WHITES
Food coloring

MEDIUM Royal Icing Ingredients:
3-3/4 cups Confectioners Sugar (white powdered sugar) -- Sifted
3 large Egg WHITES
1 tablespoon Water
Food coloring

THIN Royal Icing Ingredients:
3-3/4 cups Confectioners Sugar (white powdered sugar) -- Sifted
3 large Egg WHITES
2 tablespoons Water 
Food coloring

DIRECTIONS:
For each of the above recipes:

Place Confectioners Sugar, egg whites and water (if it is in the recipe)
in a glass bowl (ensure the bowl is squeaky clean and dry
-- this is a KEY to getting the perfect icing)
and using an electric mixer on high speed,
blend until thick and creamy, approximately 6 minutes.

If colored icing is wanted, add food coloring at this point.
Liquid food coloring (found in grocery stores) will water down the
icing so add teeensy amounts of food coloring, a little at a time,
until you get the color you want.  Remember, you can always
add more coloring.  I always use Professional Food Coloring Paste
which does not thin the icing and creates beautiful vibrant colors.
