Princess Fondant (Mmf)
- Ready In:
- 30mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Yields:
-
4 cups
ingredients
- 15 ounces mini marshmallows
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 teaspoons corn syrup
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons vanilla (we prefer Princess Emulsion)
- 2 lbs powdered sugar, sift before adding (approx 7 C)
- 1⁄2 cup Crisco shortening
directions
- Grease a large microwave proof bowl and a wooden spoon w/ Crisco.
- Add the marshmallows and the water. Microwave for 2 minutes, pausing every 30 seconds to stir well.
- Next, add corn syrup, lemon juice, salt and princess emulsion (or vanilla) and stir well. Add 5 cups of the powdered sugar, one cup at a time.
- Grease your hands well with shortening and knead the fondant mixture until soft and pliable. Powder a work surface well with powdered sugar and knead another cup of powdered sugar into the fondant.
- Continue to add powdered sugar a little at a time as you knead until the fondant has a play dough like consistency.
- It will need to be firm enough to hold a shape, but not so thick as to be stiff and hard to handle.
- Knead into a ball and coat with some shortening. Wrap the ball well with plastic wrap and slip into a zip lock bag. Make sure to squeeze as much air as you can out of the bag before sealing it up.
- This fondant is best if allowed to rest overnight- don’t refrigerate!

<p>We own a small ranch located in Napa, California. We used to be considered odd because we grew most of our food and lived frugally. Now we are viewed as trendy- go figure!</p>
<p>Anyway, we raise chickens for meat and eggs, have tons of fruits and vegetables and do it all without using pesticides or chemicals.</p>
<p>We also cook almost everything we eat from scratch. It takes a lot longer, but ours is the house that everyone wants an invitation to dinner at.</p>
