 royal decorating icing

from smitten kitchen

makes 3 cups

3 egg whites, room temperature

3 3/4 cups powdered sugar (maybe more)

1/4 teaspoon salt

Milk or cream (not much--can use water too)

Flavorings (if desired)

Food coloring (if desired)

1. Whip egg whites until soft peaks
2. Add 3 cups sugar and continue whipping until smooth.
3. Add flavorings or food coloring (if using); then add remaining sugar.
4. Icing will be thick so thin with milk or cream.  If you thin too far, then add more sugar.
5. Keep icing covered when not using.  This sets up fast so be ready to use immediately.
