I received this royal icing recipe with corn syrup from a professional baker. I prefer to use this instead of a regular royal icing recipe with egg whites. It hardens nicely and is glossy rather than matte, like regular royal icing.

Ingredients

¼ cup warm water
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
¼ teaspoon almond extract
3 cups confectioners' sugar, or more as needed

Directions

Stir together warm water, corn syrup, and almond extract in a small bowl until corn syrup and extract have dissolved.
Place confectioners' sugar into a large bowl and pour in corn syrup mixture. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until royal icing is smooth. Store in a lidded container for up to a week; stir thoroughly before using.

Recipe Tips

You can substitute orange or lemon extract for the almond extract if preferred.

If you need a thicker icing for outlining and details, add more confectioners' sugar until the icing is quite thick. You can thin the icing with a few drops of water to make a glaze for filling in outlines or dipping cookies.

The icing will harden quickly into a shiny glaze. Keep stirring the bowl of icing as you work with it to keep it at the right consistency.
