Penny's Royal Icing
3/4 c warm water
5 Tbls. meringue powder
1 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp vanilla or lemon extract or almond extract
2 1/4 lbs powdered sugar
3 Tbls. corn syrup
In mixer bowl, pour in the warm water and meringue powder. Whisk for about 30 seconds. Add the cream of tartar and whisk 30 seconds more. Add flavors and whisk again. Add powdered sugar and start mixer on low. After one minute, add corn syrup and mix on low 4-5 minutes until icing is thick and creamy. Tint with food coloring or thin the icing with small amounts of warm water to reach the desired consistency.
Icing tips:
Keep bowl covered with damp towel to prevent crusting.
Don't overmix when adding colors.
Let icing sit overnight for brighter colors.
Icing can be stored in airtight containers for several weeks or can be frozen for several months.
