Celebakes By CK Meringue Powder, 4oz

Celebakes Meringue Powder is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of baking and decorating applications. It is great for making your own royal icing, stabilizing buttercream icing, or creating fluffy meringue cookies. Additionally, meringue powder can be used as an egg white substitute in many recipes.

To make royal icing, combine 1/4 cup of meringue powder with 1/2 cup of cold water and beat until stiff peaks form. Gradually add 4 cups of sifted confectioner's sugar until the desired consistency is achieved. For a stiffer icing, add more confectioner's sugar. To keep the icing soft, add 3 drops of glycerin. Using a stand mixer will provide the best results.

For buttercream icing, dissolve 3/4 cup of granulated sugar in 1/2 cup of boiling water. Once cooled, add 1/4 cup of meringue powder and beat until stiff peaks form. Slowly incorporate 1 pound of sifted confectioner's sugar and beat until well mixed. Finally, mix in 2 to 2 1/2 cups of white vegetable shortening.

To make meringue cookies, dissolve 1 cup of granulated sugar in 1/2 cup of boiling water until completely dissolved. Add 1/3 cup of meringue powder and beat until high, stiff peaks form. Gently fold in 1 teaspoon of vanilla or any other desired flavor or color. Pipe the meringue onto parchment or silicone-lined baking sheets and bake at 250°F for 40-45 minutes until set. The meringue is done when it can be easily lifted off the pan and the bottoms are dry.

As an egg white substitute, 2 teaspoons of meringue powder and 2 tablespoons of water can be used in place of 1 egg white. This makes Celebakes Meringue Powder a convenient and versatile option for bakers.

Celebakes Meringue Powder is a product made in the USA and is certified Kosher. The 4-ounce resealable tub is easy to store and use. After opening, it should be kept in a cool, dry place away from strong odors, with no need for refrigeration.
