INGREDIENTS
400g Icing Sugar
1 egg white
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Peppermint essence
Green food colouring (not essential)
METHOD
Place egg white in a large bowl and whisk until peaked
Add lemon juice and 1/4 of icing sugar, mix well, add another 1/4 of icing sugar and repeat process until you have a soft pliable dough.
Add peppermint essence and knead thoroughly - i havent specified how much essence here as all essences have varying strengths, and it is very much a matter of personal taste. I use about a teaspoon and half.
Divide mixture in half, add green food colouring to half and knead well to mix.
Dust a work surface and rolling pin with icing sugar and roll out fondant, cut shapes with cutters and place on greaseproof paper for approximately 2 hours to dry out
You can coat or drizzle with chocolate at this stage if you wish
