Will never make MMF again!!

I finally made fondant using unflavored gelatin, light corn syrup & glycerin! OMG I will NEVER make Marshmallow Fondant again! I LOVE it!! I could tell before it was even fully mixed how much better it was!! I was a little intimidated before but it was really very easy. Not sure who's recipe it is but I would like to thank them for putting it on the web!!

Sure if anyone knows who's it is or if its yours.... thank you!! I used vanilla extract instead of almond though. My son loved the flavor.


Fondant
Ingredients required to make the fondant recipe:
1 Tbsp of unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup of cold water
1 tsp of almond extract
1/2 cup of light corn syrup (If a corn syrup is not available, you can substitute it with a sugar syrup made with 1-1/4 cups sugar and 1/3 cup water, boiled together until syrupy)
1 Tbsp of glycerin (some recipes say its optional, believe me, its a must)
2 lbs 10X confectioners sugar
1/2 tsp of white vegetable shortening
First, sprinkle the gelatin over cold water in a small bowl and let it rest for 2 minutes to soften. Next, place the bowl in a microwave for 30 seconds on High, until the gelatin dissolves. After that, add the Almond extract and the corn syrup and the glycerin and stir until the mixture is smooth and clear (if the mixture is not turning smooth and clear, microwave it for an additional 15 to 20 seconds on high and stir again). Then, sift 1 1/2 pounds of the sugar into a large bowl.B esides that, make a hole in the sugar and pour the liquid mixture to it stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture becomes sticky. Next, sift some of the remaining 1/2 pound of sugar onto a smooth work surface and add as much of the remaining sugar as the mixture will take. After that, knead the fondant, adding a little more sugar if necessary, to form a smooth, pliable mass. Then, rub the vegetable shortening on your thumbs and knead it into the fondant. And wrap the fondant in plastic wrap and place it in a tightly sealed container to prevent it from drying out. Last, If the icing dries out and harden it can often be revived by popping it into a microwave oven for a few seconds and then kneading it back to life.

I found this recipe to be just as quick and easy as the marshmallow one. True more ingredients and cost but same time to prepare. And a better end product in my opinion.

Thank you warchild I will do that!
