homemade fondant- without marshmallows
Ingredients
- 2 pounds powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1 1/2 tablespoons glycerine
- 1/4 cup shortening
- vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon
- almond extract 1/2 teaspoon
Instructions
- In a saucepan, over medium low heat, dissolve the gelatin in the water.
- Once dissolved, remove from heat, and stir in the corn syrup and glycerine.
- Shift the sugar into a large bowl (don’t skip this step!)
- Make a well in the sugar and pour the liquid mixture into the center.
- Stir well, (it will be messy at first)
- Once a dough begins to take shape, work the shortening in with your hands until a smooth fondant is achieved. Work in flavorings.
- Store wrapped tightly in plastic wrap in an air tight container.
- Makes enough to cover one 9″x3″ round cake.
