Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pinch Salt ( ice cream salt is finer)
6 tablespoons Meringue powder
2 cups Granulated sugar
1 cup Hot water
1/2 cup Warmed glucose*
1 teaspoon Or more flavorings**
Sift together salt, meringue powder and sugar. Add hot water and beat until stiff, about 7 to10 minutes. Add glucose and continue to beat. Add flavorings and beat.
* Set a measuring cup in hot water and add glucose. Stir until warm and thin. Add as directed above.
** Add almond extract and vanilla to taste. Add this only at the end, to prevent icing from breaking down. Don't add butter flavor, may contain fat! Using "fine" sugar & salt is not necassary as long as you aren't going to press the icing through very fine decorating tips <#1,0,00, or 000>.
*** Be sure all utensils used are grease-free. Any bit of grease will break the icing down to soup.
