Royal Frosting Recipe

Ingredients:

3 egg whites
1 box powdered sugar (4 3/4 c.)
1 tsp. vanilla (*optional)
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar (*optional)

Directions:

In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine all ingredients with an electric mixer. Beat on high 7 to 10 minutes or until frosting is very stiff. Keep frosting covered with damp cloth at all times to prevent crust from forming. Makes 3 cups.

*The cream of tartar will make the frosting fluffier/lighter and the vanilla isn't necessary if it isn't going to be eaten! When I have used this for "building" school projects I omit the cream of tartar and vanilla and it works fine. It dries very quickly. You can mix in food coloring if desired. It keeps well in a covered container in the refrigerator for a few weeks. Just moisten with a little water and stir to fluff up.
