Conventional Royal Frosting
2 Egg Whites
1 Tbs. fresh Lemon Juice
1 lb. Confectioner's sugar
Beat the egg whites with the lemon juice until they are the consistency of cream. Beat in the confectioner's sugar a little at a time. Continue beating, making sure to scrape the sides of the bowl occasionally, until the icing is smooth and shiny.
The icing will be very stiff. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth if you do not plan on icing the cake immediately.
