Pastillage Recipe

4 cups powdered sugar (set aside 2/3 cup)
1 Tablespoon Sugarpaste gum mixture
¼ cup water

Grease the bowl, paddle/beater. On slow setting mix the powdered sugar and gum mixture. Add water. Mix on slow setting. Grease the work surface, pour 2/3 cup powdered sugar on work surface. Grease hands with Crisco. Put pastillage mixture onto sugar and knead very well. The pastillage can be used immediately. However, it will dry out faster than gumpaste so don’t use it for anything that takes a long time to make.
