4 cups powdered sugar/icing sugar (1 kg)
4 tbsp meringue powder or 4 egg whites
10 tbsp warm water (only if using meringue powder)
Snack-size plastic bags & twist ties
In a spotlessly clean, grease-free mixing bowl, mix the ingredients. Beat until the icing forms stiff peaks (approx. 6-8 minutes with heavy-duty mixer, 10-12 with hand-held mixer).
Transfer icing to individual bags (fill only about half full) and twist tie ends shut. Snip small hole in one corner of bags. When icing is not in use, store in airtight container in fridge. Icing can be kept this way for approx. 3 days.
