Chefmaster Meringue Powder

I made my first batch of royal icing using the Chefmaster Meringue Powder, and wow, that was so much easier than whipping up my own egg whites! I just mixed a quarter cup of the powder with half a cup of water for about a minute, then mixed in four cups of powder sugar, and lastly I added a bit of orange extract for flavoring. How quick and simple! Then it was on to adding a few drops of food coloring, and decorating those cookies I made!

I purchased a jar at my local grocer next to the gingerbread houses display which they had set up (rather than selling the kits, they sold the pieces individually so you could really customize what you wanted to build). Generally though, if your local grocer doesn't carry the product, then a specialty bake store might be your best bet, or, of course, on-line!

Thanks, I will have to look for it next time I go to store.
