Directions
- In a medium-sized bowl, sift the powdered sugar to remove any lumps.
- In a small saucepan, combine the water and light corn syrup.
- Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until the corn syrup is dissolved.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the mixture over the sifted powdered sugar and whisk until smooth and well combined.
- If desired, add a few drops of food coloring and mix well until the desired color is achieved.
- Allow the icing to cool slightly before using. It should be thick yet pourable.
