What do you do when you only need a small amount of royal icing? I don't want to mix up a full batch. I just need some to glue pearls on a cake.

thanks,

pat

I mix one egg white with as much powdered sugar as it takes to get the consistency I'm after.........usually half a cup or less.........and it dries super hard, it's a great glue

Man, this is great! THanks Khalstead for the info!! I hate wasting a whole batch of royal - oftentimes you only need a little. I never thought of making a small amount!!

I often do this

1 teaspoon meringue powder
1 1/2 tablespoons water and as much icing sugar as it takes
