I received this royal icing recipe with corn syrup from a professional baker. I prefer to use this instead of a regular royal icing recipe with egg whites. It hardens nicely and is glossy rather than matte, like regular royal icing.
Ingredients
- 0.25 cups warm water
- 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
- 0.25 teaspoons almond extract
- 3 cups confectioners' sugar , or more as needed
Instructions
-
1
Stir together warm water, corn syrup, and almond extract in a small bowl until corn syrup and extract have dissolved.
-
2
Place confectioners' sugar into a large bowl and pour in corn syrup mixture. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until royal icing is smooth. Store in a lidded container for up to a week; stir thoroughly before using.

Best Breakfast Casserole
This is my family's favorite breakfast casserole recipe, always served on holiday mornings. It's great when complemented with fruit and Resurrection cinnamon rolls. You can assemble this casserole, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate it overnight before baking if desired.
Roasted Pork Bánh Mì (Vietnamese Sandwich)
Bánh mì sandwiches are delicious. I'll never forget my first real bánh mì. I remember thinking to myself, this isn't just one of the best sandwiches I've ever had to eat, but one of the best things, period. Not only do we get amazing contrasts in flavor and texture, but also the temperature difference between the crisp, warm, meat-filled roll, and cool, crunchy vegetables makes this so much fun to eat.
Ayam Bakar (Indonesian Grilled Chicken)
Chef John's ayam bakar, or Indonesian grilled chicken, is a simple version with easy-to-find ingredients. Chicken thighs simmer in an incredibly fragrant sauce, and then are finished by charring on a charcoal grill. You can serve this chicken with freshly sliced or diced red chilies, freshly chopped cilantro, and a few lime wedges alongside.
