White Soft Icing using So-lite
(Icingcan be made to any quantity using a 1:4 ratio)
Ingredients
- 250gr solite (white vegetable shortening)
- 1 kg pure icing sugar
- vanilla essence to taste
- 100ml warm water {variable (use less water to make a firmer icing)}
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Place solite in mixing bowl and beat for 1 minute to precondition.
- Gradually add the icing sugar and water alternately, mixing well between additions.
- Scrape bowl to ensure even distribution of ingredients
- Add vanilla to taste (Or any flavour you choose)
- Once all of the ingredients are added mix on a low speed for 5 minutes until smooth(By keeping the mixing speed low there is less chance of air bubbles developing)
- Any flavouring or colour can be added to mixture. *I like to use butter flavour and a small amount of vanilla
