Simple recipe, very customisable, but needs more careful mixing than it says or it will go grainy!
The first time I made it, i got lumps. Was still a good hit on biscuits! But I mixed it different the next time, for a smooth fudgy biscuit icing.
I melted the butter in a pot, sifted the dry ingredients into it slowly, and mixed thoroughly, mashing with a fork until it was an even crumble - staying in the pot on the slowly cooling stove. Only once it was perfectly mixed I added the hot water, just a few drops at a time. Kept it warm while spreading the biscuits. Came up fudgy and yum.
I also found you can reduce the sugar somewhat by changing 1/4 cup of the icing sugar for 1/4 cup of cornflour. No noticeable difference, still very sweet, maybe could do more.
