Brown Sugar Icing
Today I made a small cake for my Mom.
She had surgery last week and will be resting for the next few week, so I though she might appreciate this little treat.
I used her age old recipe for the icing. A recipe that is maybe 100 years old, if not older.

The
recipe came from my Grandmother's mother. She past it down to her
daughter, my mother pasted it down to me, I pasted it down to my
daughter and now I am passing it onto my readers.
Recipe

1/3C Water
1 Egg
Boil brown sugar and water mixture to a hard boil for 4 minutes.
Separate the egg.
Beat the white until peek.

This is a nice simple, quick recipe if you are looking to make icing from scratch,
or you don't have an icing mix in the house.
