[Sca-cooks] Sugar paste recipe as per Drakey's request

[Craig Jones]

Terrific.  Thanks.

Cheers,

Drakey.

> To make the paste, take:
> half tsp. (2.5 ml) gelatine
> 1 tsp. (5 ml) lemon juice
> 2 tsp. (10 ml) rosewater
> half egg white, lightly beaten
> 12-16 oz (250-450 g) icing sugar (my note: modern icing sugar contains
> cornstarch filler, however this seems to add in the stabilization of the
> structure)
> a few drops of food coloring if required
> 
> ‘Stir the gelatin into the lemon juice and rosewater in a basin and place
> over a bowl of hot water until melted.  Stir in the egg white, add food
> coloring and work in the icing sugar, little by little, until a dough is
> formed.  It can then be turned out on a board dusted with icing sugar,
> kneaded until completely smooth, rolled out, and used as required.’
