MARSHMALLOW FONDANT Ingredients 300g plain marshmallows shortening (to grease table and tools) (Butter) one bag of icing sugar (sift if you like) color gels or flavors of choice Method Serves: 8 before anything serious take place, prepare a clean table top, a big microwavable bowl and a spatula. grease the table top (the area you think you will need to knead), the spatula and the bowl. when i saw grease, i mean slap the shortening on and just spread as thickly as possible. put the marshmallows into the bowl, and add a splosh of water (bout 1 tbsp) microwave at high for 30 sec, then take the bowl out to have a check. then put the bowl in and microwave on high again for 30 sec. scrape to make sure everything melts. repeat the step till everything is melted properly. DO NOT over heat or else everything might erupt. pour a mountain of icing sugar onto the greased table top. hard to say exactly how much but enough for you to make a well in the centre. pour in the warm melted marshmallows. with the spatula in one hand, mix in the icing sugar with your empty hand and use the spatula to keep the working area neat and tidy. keep adding icing sugar and knead into the marshmallows till everything comes together and you can form it into a ball. once everything has cohere and you can form it into a ball, your fondant is done! knead in the flavorings or colors to the fondant. if not using straight away, grease the ball with more shortening and wrap in clingwrap. keep in fridge till further Elmarie
