Ingredients

2 large egg whites, or more to thin icing 

4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar, or more to thicken icing 

2-4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice 

Preparation

Beat the whites until stiff but not dry. Add sugar, lemon juice and glycerin (if using); beat for 1 minute more. If icing is too thick, add more egg whites; if it is too thin, add more sugar. The icing may be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
