Silver Spoon Icing Sugar

Method

  1. Step 1:

    Sift the icing sugar into a bowl and add a tiny amount of the warm water then stir. Keep adding tiny drops of the water gradually and stirring in between until the icing becomes thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. 

  2. Step 2:

    If necessary, add more water (a drop at a time) to make the icing runnier or if the icing becomes too watery add a spoonful of additional icing sugar to thicken.
