7/8 cup (100 g) icing sugar (confectioners sugar)
4 tsp lemon or orange juice (approx)
colouring (optional)
4 tsp lemon or orange juice (approx)
colouring (optional)
method
1. Sift the icing sugar.
2. Put 1 tablespoon lemon or orange juice into a small non-stick or enamel saucepan with the icing sugar.
3. Warm very gently, without making the pan too hot to touch on the underside.
4. Beat well with a wooden spoon.
5. The icing should coat the back of the spoon thickly. If it is too thick, add the extra 5 ml water; if too thin add a very little extra sifted icing sugar.
6. Add colouring, if liked. Use at once.
