This stiff royal icing recipe makes gingerbread house icing you can eat. It holds together really well! To use it, place it in a piping bag or use a spatula to spread onto the gingerbread house pieces to stick them together. This icing can also be used to decorate the tops of cookies.
Ingredients
- ½ cup meringue powder
- 1 tablespoon meringue powder
- 1 cup warm water
- ¾ teaspoon cream of tartar
- 12 cups confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons warm water, or as needed
Directions
Step 1
Beat both amounts of meringue powder, 1 cup warm water, cream of tartar, then confectioners' sugar in a large bowl using an electric mixer on low.
Step 2
Scrape down sides of bowl and increase mixer speed to medium; beat until fluffy and shiny, 6 to 8 minutes.
Step 3
If frosting is too stiff, beat in 2 tablespoons warm water, or as needed, adding water in small amounts. Keep frosting covered with a damp towel until needed.
Tips
I usually reserve the 2 tablespoons of warm water until the end, to use to get the desired consistency. If the icing is too runny, add more powdered sugar. If the icing is too stiff, add more water in very small amounts.
