Icing with Water Only

To a half cup of boiling water add sufficient confectioner's sugar to make of convenient stiffness for spreading. SOFT ICING (Without Egg) Use one-third part of water to granulated sugar and let boil without stirring till it threads or "ropes" when remove and let stand till barely warm. Beat then till doughlike and knead till creamy. This will keep if placed in glass in a cool spot. When needed place in double boiler with hot water in outer vessel and stir till sufficiently soft to use, then flavour.
