Ingredients
- 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 1 large egg white, or equivalent amount of dried egg whites
- ½ teaspoon water
Instructions
- 1Mix the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the sugar, egg white, and water. Mix the ingredients together with a wooden spoon, until the icing is thickened and smooth, about 2 minutes.

Royal icing can be thinned simply by adding water (or lemon juice), or thickened by adding more confectioners' sugar. Add liquid or confectioners' sugar in small increments, such as 1/2 teaspoon at a time, and mix thoroughly before deciding whether to add more.
- 3Decorate with royal icing: Use royal icing to decorate cookies, gingerbread houses, and more treats.
