Icing
Ingredients:
60 g butter
1 tpsn lemon rind
1 cup icing sugar
lemon juice to mix.

Margaret makes this in a ring tin as it cooks evenly.

Gluten Free Flour Mix - this needs to be sifted a few times to ensure it blends consistenly
1 cup white rice flour
1 cup potato flour
.5 cup soya flour
Xantham gum

If you use the Gluten Free Flour Mix instead of plain flour and SR flour you will need to add baking powder so it will rise - 1 teaspoon to 1 cup of flour. (ie half teaspoon for the SR flour component)
