BEST MERINGUE POWDER RECIPES

Steps:

• Sift sugar into a bowl of an electric mixer. Add remaining ingredients. Using the paddle attachment, mix on low until sugar is incorporated. Increase speed to medium and beat for 5 minutes. Check for stiff peaks.  If needed, increase speed to medium-high and continue beating icing, watching closely for stiff peaks. Once stiff peaks are formed, transfer the icing to bowls and cover with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap onto the icing to prevent crusting.  At this point, the icing can be tinted with gel paste food coloring. The icing can also be thinned with water to fill in piped outlines.

Steps:

• Step One: Mix Water and Meringue Powder - In a large bowl, mix 2/3 cup of water with the meringue powder on high speed until peaks form.
• Step Two: Add Four Cups of Sugar - Add four cups of confectioners’ sugar, one at a time, beating at low speed.
• Step Three: Add Remaining Sugar, Water, Shortening and Corn Syrup - Add the remaining eight cups of confectioners’ sugar, three tablespoons of water, shortening and corn syrup. Add each ingredient one at a time, blending well after each.
• Step Four: Add Flavorings - Add the salt, no-color butter flavor, vanilla, and almond extract. Beat the mixture at low speed until smooth.
• Once the frosting is made, keep the bowl covered with a damp cloth until ready to use. Store the remaining frosting in the fridge for up to two weeks and re-whip frosting before use.
