Plastic Icing
Dear Aunt Daisy, Here is an Australian recipe for "plastic" icing that you were asking for some weeks ago. It is very easy to make and it will keep for some time if stored in an air-tight jar; but it will go rather dry if left exposed to the air. FONDANT ICING: 2 Ib. icing sugar, 2 egg whites, 1% lb. liquid glucose (obtainable from the chemists). Sift theicing sugar into basin, melt the glucose a little over boiling water, cool slightly and add to the unbeaten egg whites. Mix yo omg thoroughly and add to the sifted icing sugar and mix well in. Remove wooden spoon and continue to knead with the hands until all the icing sugar is absorbed. Flavour and colour as desired. Dust baking board with sifted icing sugar and again knead the icing until it is smooth and no longer sticks to the board. It is now ready for use. To make it cling to the cake, either brush the cake over with unbeaten egg white, or warm seedless jam. I use this recipe over almond paste for all my Christmas and birthday cakes. as I find
it easy to make.
