Cook safely
Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.
- Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.

- Put half a cupful of sugar and three tablespoonfuls of water in a small saucepan.
- Stir over the fire until the sugar is nearly melted.
- Take the spoon from the pan before the sugar really begins to boil, because it would spoil the icing if the syrup were stirred after it begins to boil.
- After boiling gently for four minutes, add half a teaspoonful of vanilla extract, but do not stir;
- then set away to cool.
- When the syrup is about blood warm, beat it with a wooden spoon until thick and white.
- Now put the saucepan in another with boiling water, and stir until the icing is thin enough to pour.
- Spread quickly on the cake.
