Ingredients
- 2 lb Sifted powdered Sugar
- 2/3 cup water
- 3 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 2 teaspoons clear vanilla
- Food Color OPTIONAL
Preparation
Step 1
In saucepan, combine all ingredients except food color, on low heat, warm the mixture until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Add food color in very small amounts, one drop at a time. Color becomes dark very quickly.
Keep the icing warm, but use a thermometer to be sure it doesn’t go above 100 degrees.
It shouldn’t be too thick, or it will not pour over cookies or cakes smoothly. Simply use a teaspoon of water at a time until a thinner consistency is reached.
***FOR CHOCOLATE take out 6oz of confectioners sugar and substitute that same amount with cocoa powder
