Plain Icing No. 1 Recipe

Instructions Add confectioner's sugar (powdered sugar) to a small amount of light-colored fruit juice, - pineapple, pear and lemon, or lemon juice and water. Stir in enough sifted sugar to form a consistency to spread on cake. This icing will not dry out as quickly as boiled icing, and it forms a crust over the surface very readily. Use cream or milk, or egg yolk, or both, as wetting, in the place of water or fruit juice.
