Sugarpaste [Fondant Icing]

Ingredients:

1 egg white
2 tbsp liquid glucose
2 tsp rosewater
1 1/2 cups icing sugar, sifted
icing sugar to dust

1. Mix together the egg white + liquid glucose + rosewater. Add the icing sugar & combine with a wooden spoon until the icing begins to bind together.

2. Kneead together with the fingers until the mixture forms into a ball.

3. Place on a surface lightly dusted with icing sugar & knead until smooth and free from cracks.

4. If the icing is too soft to handle and is sticky, knead in some more icing sugar until firm & pliable. If the sugarpaste should dry out and become hard, knead in a little boiled water until the icing is soft & pliable.


Storing:

Wrap the icing completely in cling film [plastic wrap]
