Description
Meringue powder is a key ingredient in making royal icing for decorating cookies or glazing donuts. Unlike cake or cupcake frosting, which is soft and uses butter or shortening, royal icing dries to a hard finish and is made typically from egg whites (fresh or powdered) and confectioner’s sugar.
This versatile egg white substitute is better than real egg whites for making meringues for a tart lemon pie or cookies that won’t fall flat and smooth royal icing that dries to a hard, glossy finish.
