4 egg whites
1 (1 lb.) box confectioners' sugar
1 tsp. lemon extract

Beat egg whites in a large bowl with mixer at high speed until foamy (use only grade A clean, uncracked eggs). Gradually add confectioners' sugar and lemon extract. Beat on high speed until thickened.

Note: When dry, Royal Icing is very hard and resistant to damage that can occur during shipping/handling.
