Ingredients
- four ounces of baker's chocolate
- three quarter cupfuls of sugar
- a cupful of water till it threads when dropped from the spoon
Directions
Melt in a dry pan four ounces of Baker's chocolate, or of cocoa. Boil one and three quarter cupfuls of sugar with a cupful of water till it threads when dropped from the spoon, the same as for boiled icing. Turn it slowly onto the chocolate, stirring all the time. Use this icing for dipping eclairs and small cakes, and for layer cakes. Chocolate icing loses its gloss when at all stale.
