Ingredients

Preparation procedure

Preparation of ingredients: Separate the egg whites from the yolks and measure the powdered sugar. The egg whites should be fresh and at room temperature so they whip better.

Finishing: You can use the finished egg white frosting immediately to decorate cookies, cakes, cupcakes or gingerbread. If you want the frosting to last longer, you can add a pinch of cream of tartar (cream of tartar) or a few drops of lemon juice.
