2 tablespoons water
2 cups sifted icing sugar (give or take) (350 gr.)
1 teaspoon vanilla
Shortening (for greasing)
DirectionsIn a large plastic or glass bowl, grease sides and bottom with shortening and add package of marshmallows.
Sprinkle water over top of marshmallows.
Put bowl in microwave for 30 second increments, stirring marshmallows after each increment until melted.
Stir in 1 cup sifted icing sugar with greased spatula.
Have a moderate layer of sifted icing sugar laid out on a clean flat surface.
Pour marshmallow onto icing sugar and again add 1 cup sifted icing sugar.
Grease your hands with shortening then powder them with icing sugar.
Knead marshmallow until icing sugar is completely mixed in and consistency is close to rolling.
This will take about 10-15 minutes and because it is warm it will still be very soft.
Cover in plastic wrap and put into fridge for about an hour.
Once cooled, to make fondant ready to roll let it come to room temperature again or put it back in the microwave uncovered for about 15 seconds or so
You will have to knead fondant again before rolling. If you want to add colour, use the gel colours and add a little bit at a time to get the shade you prefer, knead until colour is completely solid throughout the fondant.
