This icing is used for decorating decorative items such as Ginger Bread Houses. It will keep for a long time (years) after it hardens. Make sure that it is very stiff so that it will hold a shape when you put it in your decorator's bag. If you want an easier way to make this icing, use powdered egg whites that you can get at a craft store.
3 egg whites (at room temperature)
4 cups of powdered sugar
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
Beat all ingredients at high speed for 10 minutes. Use immediately, as rebeating will not restore texture. Keep a wet cloth over the frosting so it doesn't dry out.
These are great American recipes from many years of gathering recipes. All of them have been tried and tested. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have.
