Sugar Starch


You'll need:
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Several freshly washed doilie
  • Iron (optional)
Mix the sugar and water together in a pan and heat on low on the stove, stirring often until the sugar is no longer grainy and the mixture is smooth.
Do not boil.  Let the mixture cool.
If doilies are dry, wet them, and wring out excess water.  
One at a time, place a doily in the sugar mixture to thoroughly saturate.
Remove and squeeze out excess mixture. 
Flatten the doily  
Let dry
Iron at a low setting if necessary.
