          Royal Icing For Decorating Candies
  1 lb. (2 cups) confectioners’ sugar
   2 whites of eggs
   1 dessertspoonful lemon juice

    Sift the sugar into a basin. Add the whites of eggs
and the lemon-juice. Stir until well mixed; then beat
well with a wooden spoon for a quarter of an hour.
The icing must not drop from the spoon. If too thick,
add more white of egg, and if too thin, add a little
more icing sugar. Color if desired.
    Use a small bag and tube for decorating candies.
