Homemade fondant without the added expensive ingredients like glucose or glycerin. Works great for cake designs of all sorts such as modeling figures, covering cakes, decorating, etc. Add your choice of food coloring. Ingredients:
1 cup light corn syrup |
1 cup vegetable shortening |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract |
1 tablespoon cornstarch, or as needed |
1 (32 ounce) package confectioners' sugar, or as needed |
Directions:
1. Mix corn syrup, vegetable shortening, and salt in a large bowl. Beat in clear vanilla extract and cornstarch. Slowly stir in confectioners' sugar, about 1 cup at a time, mixing in the sugar thoroughly each time before adding the next cup. Fondant will become increasingly stiff; if too sticky, add more cornstarch and confectioners' sugar to make an easily-workable dough.
2. Turn fondant onto a work surface generously dusted with cornstarch; roll to desired thickness.
