Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Meringue powder
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 4 tablespoons Warm water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- Food coloring (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift the powdered sugar to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth glaze.
Add the meringue powder to the powdered sugar and whisk together until evenly combined.
Gradually add the warm water, one tablespoon at a time, stirring well after each addition. Continue adding water until the glaze reaches your desired consistency. For piping or outlining, aim for a thicker glaze, and for flooding or coating, thin it out slightly.
Mix in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
If you want colored glaze, divide the mixture into smaller bowls and add a few drops of your preferred food coloring to each. Stir until evenly colored.
Use immediately to decorate cookies, cakes, or other baked goods. Allow the glaze to dry completely before storing or stacking the decorated items.
