Rolled Fondant
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 teaspoons (7.5 ml) powdered gelatin
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) cold water
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) light corn syrup
- 1 1/2 teaspoons (7.5 ml) glycerine
- 1 lb (454 g) icing sugar, sifted
Instructions
- In a microwave oven-safe bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the water. Let bloom for 5 minutes.
- Add the corn syrup and glycerine and melt in the microwave oven until the gelatin has melted.
- In a large bowl, place three quarter of the icing sugar and make a well in the centre. Pour the syrup mixture and stir with a fork until it forms a soft ball. Gradually add the remaining icing sugar, stirring until smooth.
- On a work surface dusted with icing sugar, knead the dough with lightly oiled hands until smooth. Cover in plastic wrap and place in a sealable plastic bag. Keeps for several months at room temperature.
