I wasn't aware there was a different version specific to New Zealand - I use a fairly standard ratio of 1 butter to 2 icing sugar, ie. 100g butter and 200g icing sugar.Then add a splash of milk and any other flavourings I want - vanilla, lemon, orange, mint, etc.For chocolate I remove a tablespoon of icing sugar and replace it with cocoa.
I do 125grams butter, 1 1/2 cups icing sugar and 2 tablespoons milk, beat butter until very pale, add half of other ingredients, mix well then rest of icing sugar and milk, add flavour or colouring.

my mum's one that I use quite often is just melt some butter (sorry don't have quantities but probably about 2 tbs butter) then take it off the heat. Add icing sugar and about 2 tbs of cocoa powder and a splash of vanilla essence and then a splosh of water. Stir it all in together adding icing sugar and/or water until you get a good consistancy. You need it quite thick not runny or it won't set. I usually put a bit on my finger and leave it for a minute or so and see if it feels like it is going hard and then it is ready to use. You might need to dip your knife in some water to help spread it. This icing goes hard not sticky.
