Egg White Icing Food

FLUFFY WHITE FROSTING

Steps:

• In a saucepan, stir together the sugar, water and cream of tartar. Cook over medium-high heat until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is bubbly.
• In a medium mixing bowl, whip the egg whites and vanilla to soft peaks. Gradually add the sugar mixture while whipping constantly until stiff peaks form, about 7 to 10 minutes. Frost the cake of your choice.

WHITE FROSTING

Steps:

• Whisk the egg whites, sugar and salt in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water) until the mixture is warm and the sugar dissolves. Remove the bowl from the pan; let cool slightly.
• Beat the egg white mixture in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or with a hand mixer) on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 12 to 15 minutes. Beat in the butter a few pieces at a time, then continue beating until smooth. (Don't worry if the mixture looks separated at first-it will come together as you keep beating.)

ROYAL ICING WITH EGG WHITES

Steps:

• Place egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat using the whisk attachment until frothy. Add 1/4 cup of the sugar and mix well. Gradually add the remaining 3 3/4 cups sugar, beating on low speed and scraping down the sides.
• Increase the speed to high and continue to beat the mixture until soft peaks form, about 5 minutes. At this stage, the icing will be very thick. Add water, a few drops at a time, to thin it to the consistency appropriate for the kind of decorating you are doing. As a rule, the icing should be stiffer for lettering, more malleable for making petals -- but you will need to experiment to find the consistency that works best for you. Store icing at room temperature in an airtight glass or metal container. It should be used within two days.

FLUFFY WHITE FROSTING

Steps:

• Combine sugar, water, cream of tartar and salt in saucepan.
• Bring to boiling, stirring until sugar dissolves.
• Very slowly add sugar syrup to unbeaten egg whites in mixing bowl, beating constantly with electric mixer until stiff peaks form (about 7 minutes).
• Beat in vanilla.
• Frosts tops and sides of two 8 or 9-inch layers, or one 10-inch tube or one 9x13 pan.

ROYAL ICING

Steps:

• In large bowl of stand mixer combine the egg whites and vanilla and beat until frothy. Add confectioners' sugar gradually and mix on low speed until sugar is incorporated and mixture is shiny. Turn speed up to high and beat until mixture forms stiff, glossy peaks. This should take approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Add food coloring, if desired. For immediate use, transfer icing to pastry bag or heavy duty storage bag and pipe as desired. If using storage bag, clip corner. Store in airtight container in refrigerator for up to 3 days.

WHIPPED FROSTING

Steps:

• In a heatproof bowl set over (not in) a saucepan of simmering water, combine egg whites, sugar, salt, and water. Cook over medium, stirring constantly, until sugar has dissolved (or mixture registers 150 degrees on an instant-read thermometer), 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium-high until glossy, stiff peaks form (do not overbeat), about 3 minutes; reduce speed to low, add vanilla extract, and beat just until combined. Use immediately.

NO COOK ICING

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together the white sugar, egg white, vanilla, cream of tartar, and boiling water. Beat using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. If you have a stand mixer, use the whisk attachment.

FLUFFY EGG-WHITE FROSTING

Steps:

• In the top of a double boiler, combine sugar, egg whites,corn syrup, cream of tartar, and 1/3 cup water.
• Place over simmering water.
• Beat on high speed with handheld electric mixer until icing forms soft peaks, about 2 minutes.
• Remove from heat and beat in vanilla.
• Continue beating 5 minutes, or just until stiff peaks form.
• Spread on cooled cake immediately.
• Makes enough to frost a 2-3 layer cake.

MARY BERRY'S ROYAL ICING

Steps:

• Sieve the icing sugar.
• Whisk the egg whites in a large bowl until they become frothy.
• Add the icing sugar to the egg whites, a spoonful at a time, and fold in.
• Add the lemon juice and glycerine and stir.
• Beat the icing until it is very stiff and white and stands up in peaks.
• Spread over the top and sides of the cake and rough up the icing with a spatula so that it forms peaks. (If you want a smooth icing you may need to thin the icing down a little with more egg white and use to ice the sides and top of the cake using a palette knife.)
• Transfer to a cake tin and seal up until ready for use.

EXTRA FLUFFY ICING

Steps:

• Use a stand mixer. It will change your life. You can make this using a hand mixer, but it just takes time. In a clean bowl (any grease on your bowl or utensils will ruin the icing -- egg whites hate grease!), beat the egg whites and salt on high speed until foamy.
• With the mixer still running, slowly add the sugar. Beat mixture until soft peaks form (when you pull the mixer out of the white mixture, you should get a little point that bends over).
• Bring the corn syrup to a boil over medium heat in a small saucepan. When the corn syrup comes to a boil, remove from heat.
• Slowly pour the hot corn syrup into the egg mixture while your mixer is mixing on high. Beat the mixture until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes. Add the vanilla, and mix to combine.
• Use right away.

7-MINUTE FLUFFY WHITE FROSTING

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Combine the egg whites, sugar, water, corn syrup, and salt in the top bowl of a double boiler. Add water to the bottom pot and bring to a simmer.
• Beat the mixture off of the heat with an electric hand mixer for a minute. Place the pan over the boiling water (make sure the bottom of the pan is not touching the boiling water).
• Continue beating for about 6 minutes, or until the frosting mixture is white, fluffy, and will stand in stiff peaks .
• Remove from the heat and beat in the vanilla. Use immediately to frost a two-layer cake or cupcakes.
