Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Egg White
- 300 g Powdered Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Lemon Juice
Preparation Time
- Total Time: 7 minutes
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Prepare the Egg White: Start by whipping the egg white into stiff peaks. Ensure the consistency is stiff enough that if you turn the bowl upside down, nothing should spill.
-
Add Powdered Sugar Gradually: Slowly incorporate the powdered sugar into the whipped egg white. Add it in small batches rather than all at once to ensure easier mixing and a smoother texture.
-
Mix for Consistency: Continue to mix the ingredients until you achieve a thick, honey-like consistency. This can take some time, so be patient.
-
Adjust Consistency: If needed, adjust the amount of powdered sugar to reach the desired consistency. The mixture should be thick enough to pipe but not too stiff.
-
Prepare for Piping: Place the icing into a piping bag or a small plastic bag, cutting off a small corner to allow for precise application.
-
Apply to Cookies: Spread or pipe the icing onto the cooled cookies. Ensure the cookies are room temperature to prevent the icing from melting or running.
-
Let It Set: Allow the icing to set at room temperature. It should firm up as it dries.
-
Add Coloring, If Desired: For natural coloring:
- Red: Use beet or cherry juice.
- Green: Mix in finely chopped mint.
- Orange: Integrate carrot or orange juice.
-
Enjoy Your Creation: Once set, your beautifully decorated pipar cookies are ready to serve.
Tips
