3 Tablespoons meringue powder
1/3 cup tap water (room temp. – not cold not hot)
2/3 cup Crisco (solid shortening)
5 1/2 cups powdered sugar (this is MORE than 1 pound)
generous dash of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla (or flavoring to taste)
Instructions
Mix together water and meringue; beat stiff.
Add remaining ingredients and whip for 3 minutes,
scraping the bowl well twice. Keep covered when not
using.
I prefere to keep any left-over in a glass jar. Keeps
well a couple of weeks but may need to be stirred well
before using.
Once flowers are made DO NOT! cover or put into
freezer or refrigerator. Keep uncovered at room temp
until they dry. The amount of time that takes will
depend on how humid and warm your house/area is.
Usually 24 hrs is plenty. Once completely dry
completed flowers should be store in any NON airtight
