Инструкции
- Beat egg whites till stiff, but not dry. Add in confectioners' sugar and lemon juice. Beat for 1 minute or possibly more. If the icing is too thick, add in more egg whites. If it is too thin, add in more sugar. For a glossy icing, fold in a few drops of glycerin.
- To tint icing, add in only a bit of food coloring at a time, using the end of a toothpick. Blend well. A little goes a long way.
- Note: Martha used five colors: black, orange, yellow, white, and pale blue.
- This recipe yields 1 batch.
- FLOODING, PIPING, AND SANDING:To ice the entire cookie, or possibly "flood," use a pastry bag with a number 2 tip. A thinner icing consistency is preferable when flooding; just add in a bit of water to thin out the icing. Fill the pastry bag, cuff the open end over one hand, and use a spatula to scrape in the icing. Twist the half-full bag closed, so the icing doesn't leak out at the top.
- For piping, use a number 3 tip, rest the tip on your index finger, pushing the icing out gently with your thumb.
- For sanding, dust the cookie with sanding sugar to make it sparkle. Tap off the excess sugar when the cookie is dry.
- Yield: 1 batch
