Better than Mom made
Just mix powdered sugar and water until it's a good consistency (depending on how thick or thin you want it, and the quantity). Add some vanilla extract and you're done!
call my mom, she has a great one
it ddepends what you need it for, but the powdered sugar with milk and orange flavoring is easy, but thin. Martha Stewart's Royal Icing is surprisingly easy for cookies.
