Fondant
1 large cup Marshmallows 1-2 Tbls water 1 1/2 - 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
Put the Marshmallows in a cup and press down. Place the cup in a large bowl and microwave for 30 - 60 seconds. Pour the melted Marshmallows from the cup to the bowl and stir with a fork. Add the powdered sugar and knead. Color and flatten out as desired.
Comments: The melted Marshmallow blend looks like a thin soup. Microwave for a few seconds more if needed. In the recipe I got recommended kneading by hand. I nevertheless, always use my Kitchen-aid.
