This is the recipe that I have been using for years. It's from my UK Bero book. Don't add the glycerine as that keeps the icing soft. Royal Icing 1 kg (2 lb) icing sugar 5 medium egg whites 2 x 5 ml spoon (2 tsp) lemon juice for firm icing OR 2 x 5 ml spoon (2 tsp) glycerine may be added to keep icing soft. Sufficient for top of 20-23 cm (8-9 inch) cake. Lightly beat egg whites with glycerine or lemon juice. Sieve icing sugar, add half to egg whites, beat well. Add remainder of sugar gradually stirring well until stiff enough to stand in peaks in the bowl.
