Royal Creams Recipes

ROYAL ICING

Steps:

• Place all of the ingredients in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat slowly until they are all blended. Then beat at medium speed until the icing forms stiff peaks, about 5 minutes. Add more sugar if the icing is not stiff enough, or a few drops of water if it is too stiff. Use immediately or cover the bowl with a damp cloth to prevent drying when not in use. Allow at least 24 hours for royal icing decorations to dry, at room temperature.

ROYAL CREAMS

Steps:

• Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add eggs and vanilla essence to creamed mixture, beat a little longer (2 minutes or so).
• Sift dry ingredients, add to mix and make dough.
• Roll and cut small identical sized biscuits, or roll small even-size balls and flatten slightly with hand or use a biscuit-press (which is what I use for these).
• Bake at 170°C or 325°F until slightly golden at edges - or lift up the biscuit, if it is light brown under it's done.
• Cool on rack.
• Once cold sandwich together with 'Icing' and sprinkle with castor sugar.
• Icing: Cream together with mixer.
• Note: Castor sugar is finer than granulated sugar (in the US look for superfine sugar).

CHICKEN ROYALE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°. For stuffing, combine the bread crumbs, water, 2 tablespoons butter, onion, parsley, salt, poultry seasoning and pepper. Place about 1/3 cup stuffing under the skin of each chicken breast; secure with toothpicks. In a shallow bowl, combine flour and paprika; coat chicken. Place in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Drizzle with remaining butter., Bake, uncovered, until a thermometer reads 170°, 1 to 1-1/4 hours. Meanwhile, for sauce, heat butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onion, cook and stir until tender, 2-3 minutes. Stir in the flour, salt and pepper. Whisk in cream until blended; bring to a boil. Cook and stir until thickened, 1 minute. Reduce heat; add sour cream. Stir just until heated through; do not boil. Serve with chicken.
