Boiled Icing
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup water
Whites of two eggs
Flavouring
Boil the sugar and water together until it spins a thread from a spoon. Then take the syrup off the fire and pour it into a basin. Add the whites (beaten to a stiff froth) to it gradually, beating hard all the time. Continue beating until the mixture is cold. Add flavouring.
