Tips & Warnings
This icing is best made and used fresh
To eliminate the risk of Salmonella poisoning substitute dry powdered egg whites for the raw egg whites. For each egg white, use 2 level teaspoons powdered egg white plus 2 tablespoons of warm water.
Use only the freshest eggs from a reputable source for this recipe.
Any time you consume raw or under cooked eggs you run the risk (albeit a small risk) of Salmonella poisoning.
