- 3 c. sugar
- 1 1/2 c. hot water
- 1/4 tsp. cream of tartar (not a dairy product)
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- powdered sugar
- food coloring (optional)
In a medium saucepan combine sugar, water, and cream of tartar. Bring mixture to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves (5 to 9 minutes).
Reduce heat to medium low. Use a candy thermometer, and cook until the temperature reaches 226°, stirring only as necessary to prevent sticking. Remove saucepan from heat. Cool to room temperature to 110° (about an hour).
Add vanilla. Stir in enough powdered sugar to make of drizzling consistency. Whisk to remove any lumps. Stir in food coloring, if desired. If icing becomes too thick, stir in a few drops of warm water. Makes about 3 1/2 c.
