Hey!! I'm going to make my first homemade MMF but there are SO many recipes to pick from on here and I'd love to know which one is tried and true. I don't want to make a "bad" recipe for my first time and get discouraged. Any suggestions? Thank you SO much!!
This info is from a member jeking:
Although I like MMF, I have had problems with it tearing easily and cracking when applied to the cake. I have been using a commercial fondant that I LOVE. However, last night I didn't have enough commercial fondant for a project and made MMF. This time I didn't add any water while melting the MM's. Instead, I added 1/2 cup of Crisco which melted along with the MM's. I pour this mixture into my KA (dough hook only), added 4 cups of confectioner's sugar and mixed it until all the CS was incorporated. I put 3 cups of CS on my countertop and then scooped out the MM mixture onto it and began to knead it. A couple of times I scooped out about a tablespoon of Crisco and added it and kept on kneading. Voila! The fondant was perfect! It had a lot of elasticity and rolled out beautifully. Also, it didn't stick to the counter while I was kneading it!
Start with the basic recipe you will find in the articles section here but follow the suggestions above for sugar amounts and the addition of crisco when melting!
