The following rules should be kept
lu mind when preparing fondant:
Scald the saucepan well before
using, to be sure there Is no odor
or taste from previous cooking.
Never stir the syrup after the
sugar Is dissolved and cooking has
commenced. This is most import
ant. If the syrup is stirred the fin
ished product will be granular. When
testing the- syrup carefully remove
from the stove or turn out the gue
flame, in older to prevent further'
I cooking. ' j
Always cover the saucepan until
boiling point is reached. If any j
sugar has gathered on the side of
the saucepan, the steam created by
covering the kettle will remove it.
Wash the hands in cold water before
kneading the fondant. ;
