đ cup water

Directions 1. Combine powdered sugar and egg whites in a bowl.

2. Mix at low speed and slowly add in the 1/2 cup of water. Change speed to mediumhigh for about 5 minutes.

It should take around 7 to 10 minutes of mixing to get a ribbon-like trail when you dip and lift a spatula into the royal icing (almost a runny caramel consistency).
