• 1 cup butter, soft (250g)
• 1 1/2 cups icing sugar (250g)
• 1/2 cup boiling water , probably less
• 1/2 cup cold water , probably less

• 1 Dissolve icing sugar with very little boiling water, only enough to make it just slide into butter but not be watery.
• 2 Beat butter until soft and creamy, then add icing sugar, a little at a time and beat until white and creamy - taste before all the icing sugar has been added to see if it is sweet enough, only add the rest if it is needed.
• 3 Add 1 tbs of boiling water, beat again, then add 1 tbs cold water.
• 4 Continue beating until smooth, keep adding alternately a little boiling water then cold water until sugary taste has gone.
