Product Overview
Buy Wilton Meringue Powder to make Royal Icing.
Meringue Powder adds body to royal icing, meringue, boiled icing. Meringue Powder also stabilizes buttercream. Meringue Powder replaces egg white in many recipes. Resealable top opens completely for easy measuring. Certified Kosher.
An 8 oz can makes about two batches of royal icing.
Use meringue powder to make a Gingerbread house or a "Noah's Ark." When an icing recipe calls for meringue powder, buy the Wilton's brand. It will definitely do the job and the icing will hold the gingerbread pieces together very nicely! Almost everyone loves Gingerbread!
Meringue Powder is also great for adding extra volume to the snow white icing recipe. Meringue powder is very easy to use and it is easier than seperating eggs. Also, you don't have to worry about getting salmonella poisoning from your royal icing.
Printed on the can it says "Can be used as an egg white substitute in baking", so I purchased a can so I wouldn't be left with unused yolks. However, this product contains more than just dried egg whites, and it changed the flavor of my recipes. I also used it to create a batch of meringue cookies, and they can be too sweet to eat. You don't buy it for the taste but for the stability it provides frostings and a dollar per once is about the right price for a home baker.
Ingredient list: Corn starch, egg whites, sugar, gum arabic, calcium sulfate, citric acid, cream of tartar, artificial flavors, silicon dioxide.
