Fondant-style icings for puffs

Pistachio fondant-style icing

• Sift the confectioners’ sugar first into a bowl and then add the hot water to it, stirring with a whisk to make a paste.
• Add the pistachio paste and mix to blend to a uniform color. The icing should flow enough to coat the puffs with a thin layer but not be so liquid as to flow off of the puffs.
• Adjust the consistency by adding more confectioners’ sugar
