Royal Icing

3 ounces of egg whites
1 teaspoon of vanilla
4 cups powdered sugar

Beat egg whites and vanilla until frothy. Add the powdered sugar a cup at a time on low speed until well Incorporated and shiny. Turn the speed up to high and beat for 5 to 7 minutes until stiff glossy peaks form. If the icing is too thick add milk 1/8 teaspoon at a time.
