Help! Royal Icing in a Magimix??

[BebeBelge]

Hello!

Can I mix my royal icing in my Magimix? It's a packet mix and it says to whisk for 10 minutes. Would I use the whisk attachment (its plastic) or the metal regular blade? And, if so, for how long?

Thanks!

I'd go whisk as the blade won't beat or aerate it properly at all. Mix until it's no longer off white and slightly transparent and is white and fluffy, those packet mixes have to be mixed well to activate the meringue powder properly. Use the required amount of water and beat it until fine and thick, it's easy thin it if too thick for the purpose, it's better to make it as instructed and then thin if necessary.

I wouldn't use a Magimix at all, as I've never found the whisk attachment any good. Much better with a balloon or rotary whisk.
