---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plain Butter Icing:

2 oz. butter
4 oz. icing sugar
vanilla flavoring, few drops

Cream the butter lightly, then add the sugar and flavoring
and beat until soft and light.  Keep covered with damp
paper.

Firmer Icing:  6 oz. icing sugar,   2 oz. butter
               flavoring

Softer Icing:  3 oz. icing sugar,   2 oz. butter
               flavoring
               Do not use less sugar than this,
               otherwise the mixture will be
               too greasy.

Hint:
1.  always sieve the icing sugar, small lumps will
    not come out as they are creamed with the butter.
2.  never warm the butter for the icing must be light
    in texture and if the butter is oiled it spoils
    the texture as well as the appearance.
