rec.food.recipes archive

2/3 cup water
 4 Tblsp meringue powder
 12 cups sifted confectioners sugar (approx 3lbs.)
 1 1/4 cup shortening
 3/4 tsp salt
 1/2 tsp almond extract
 1/2 tsp clear vanilla
 1/4 tsp butter extract
 Stiffer than regular buttercream icing.  Good if you need a perfectly
 white icing.
 Combine water and meringue powder; whip at high speed until peaks
 form.  Add 4 cups sugar, one cup at a time, beating after each
 addition at low speed. Alternately add shortening and remainder of
 sugar. Add salt and flavorings; beat at low speed until smooth.
