Royal Icing with Meringue Powder
Using the directions off of the package of Ateco Meringue Powder.
1/4 cup meringue powder
1/2 cup water
4 cups sifted powdered sugar, perhaps 1/2 cup more
In large beater bowl, mix meringue powder with water. Beat until it peaks. Add the 4 cups powdered sugar and beat until light and fluffy, adding up to 1/2 cup more for desired stiffness. For a gingerbread house frosting, I usually use the additional amount to make the frosting hold its peaks for great snowdrifts and etc.
