How can I make candy buttons at home (the ones that come on paper)?!
Answers: Is it possible? Is there a recipe I could try at home?
This is a recipe for royal icing, it will make about 2.5 cups. Pour it into a small ziploc bag, snip the corner and make little dots onto wax paper you have lightly sprayed with cooking spray. Just remember to keep this completely covered, as it is designed to harden. (Used for gingerbread houses, etc.)
* 2 tablespoons Just Whites, an egg white powder
* 6 tablespoons lukewarm water
* 1/4 teaspoon almond extract or lemon juice
* 1 box (1 pound) confectioners' sugar
PREPARATION:
In a large mixing bowl with a hand-held electric mixer on low, beat egg white powder and confectioners' sugar until well blended. Gradually beat in water and flavoring; continue beating on high until icing is very thick and glossy, about 6 to 8 minutes.
