From the Daily Telegraph's Weekend supplement (31/12/05, UK) As I discovered last Christmas, you *can't* put royal icing directly on to a Christmas cake because it goes all soggy! I haven't made this recipe yet as I only found it too late. You might be able to use something like vanilla-flavoured Angel Delight or some other mousse-y mix that you make up with a pint or so of milk if you can't get custard powder Ingredients:
5 ounces semolina |
5 ounces icing sugar (sifted) |
2 teaspoons custard powder (eg birds) |
1 egg white |
2 teaspoons vanilla flavoring (etc) or 2 teaspoons orange flower water (etc) |
Directions:
1. Mix the semolina with the icing sugar and custard powder.
2. Lightly beat the egg white and mix into the dry ingredients along with the flavouring until you get a firm paste.
3. Wrap in clingfilm to prevent it drying out until ready to use.
