Royal Icing with Egg whites

(I couldn't get a picture of what i have done will surely upload next time i do but it looks something like in above pic..:) )

     This icing can be used for decorating cookies/making flowers/decorating cake/personal messages.If you are doing flowers usually it takes overnight to use them on cake(they get very dried and you can just take them off from parchment paper and use it on cake).

Measurements:

egg whites-1 large (30 grams) 

fresh lemon juice- 1 tsp

powdered/icing sugar(sifted) -1.5 cup

Parchment paper

Process:

1)In a large bowl beat egg whites with lemon juice until combined.

2)Now add the sifted powdered sugar and beat on low speed until combined and smooth.

3)To test your consistency take a cookie and place a small amount of icing in the center of the cookie.Using a small knife, push the icing to the edge of the cookie. If the icing runs off the edge, thicken  the icing by adding a little more confectioners sugar. Conversely, if the icing is too thick, add a little water.

4)Put the icing in piping bag/ziploc and do your favorite designs on cookies/flowers.
