Buttercream Fondant

This is the easiest homemade fondant I’ve ever used, and it tastes great!

Ingredients

  • 1 c light corn syrup
  • 1 c shortening
  • 1/2 t salt
  • 1 t clear vanilla (you can also add any other flavoring to taste)
  • 2 lbs (approx. 5 1/2 c) powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, stir together shortening and corn syrup. Mix in salt and vanilla, then gradually mix in the sugar until it is a stiff dough. If you are using a stand mixer, use the dough hook attachment. If dough is sticky, knead more powdered sugar until it is smooth. Store in airtight container in fridge or at room temp.
