(Icingcan be made to any quantity using a 1:4 ratio)
- 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
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 useĀ butter flavour and a small amount of vanilla
