Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package confectioners' sugar

Directions

Step 1
Beat sugar and egg whites in a large bowl using an electric mixer on low speed until evenly combined and shiny, about 3 minutes.

Add water gradually, beating on medium-high speed until icing is smooth and reaches desired consistency, about 5 minutes.

Cook’s Notes:

You can mix the icing by hand using a wooden spoon if preferred. Add the confectioners' sugar gradually, mixing well after each addition until it is well incorporated with the egg whites.
