Yield Makes about 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 pound confectioners' sugar, plus more if needed
5 tablespoons meringue powder

Steps:

  • Beat sugar, meringue powder, and a scant 1/4 cup water in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on low speed until smooth, about 7 minutes. If icing is too thick, add more water, 1 teaspoon at a time; if too thin, beat icing for 2 to 3 minutes more, or add more sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Use immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature overnight; stir before using.
