Request for Gingerbread Frosting Recipe

[ksami]

Ok, so, I received my Samantha's gingerbread house kit today... but it's missing the directions! *throws hands up in the air* And the recipe for frosting. I called AG and they said stock on the directions stock is low. So I will either receive the directions in 6-8 days, if it's in stock, or else I'll get a notice that it's out of stock, at which point I'll have to call back and they will send me a whole new kit. I was really looking forward to making this gingerbread house this week. Could someone who has the directions and the recipe for the frosting pretty please type them up and post them here or PM them to me? I would appreciate it so very very much!!!

This is not from the Samanta Gingerbread House kit, but it works great on the larger gingerbread houses I make. I hope this helps.

Royal Icing
INGREDIENTS:

3 medium egg whites
1 pound of powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar
PREPARATION:

Beat egg whites together until frothy. Mix or sift sugar and cream of tartar together, then add to egg whites and beat until stiff, 5 to 10 minutes.
This hardens, so don't make it until you're ready to use it and keep the unused portion covered while decorating so it doesn't dry out.

Thank you, Wicksasc!

I'm going to bump this up, though, just in case. [img]smile.gif[/img]

We use the same exact recipe as Wicksasc. It works great!

I love royal icing for that purpose. Dries beautifully and doesn't shrink.
