Description
This recipe is adapted from Nicholas Lodge. I use the same ingredients and measures just do not mix it as much as he does. Due to high humidity, I find the denser under mixed gum paste works better for me.
Ingredients
- 4 (120 g) Egg whites (1/2 cup)
- 6 cup (720 g) Powdered sugar/ confectioners sugar
- 2 tbsp (30 g) Tylose powder or CMC
- 2 tbsp Veg shortening vegetable fat
- ½ tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Clear vanilla extract
- 125 grams Powdered sugar for kneading
Instructions
- In a bowl mix 2 cups powdered sugar
- Make space in the center and add egg whites, salt and vanilla extract.
- Mix well until no lumps
- Add tylose or CMC powder
- Mix for a minute or two until sticky.
- Now add more powder sugar – until you are able to form a ball.
- Do not add too much powder sugar as the gum paste can dry out.
- You can transfer mix to a working board to mix well.
- Next, knead in the veg shortening.
- You want the mixture to be soft, slightly sticky – you can add more powder sugar later too.
- Divide paste into small portions and wrap well in plastic wrap/bag
- Then place them all in a ziplock bag and into an airtight box.
- Let rest in the fridge overnight
- Next day – let rest at room temperature.
- knead with a little veg shortening if needed powder sugar too.
- Use as needed for any project.
