Cement (Royal) Icing
  1. With a rotary beater, beat egg whites, water, and cream of tartar until foamy.

  2. Gradually add 3 cups sifted powdered sugar, beating constantly until stiff.

  3. Use at once because this frosting hardens fairly quickly. Makes 1-½ cups.

This recipe comes from exceptional educator Candace Szalay, when she was my daughter’s grade school teacher. Kids used this icing to glue graham crackers together into gingerbread houses.
