1

Bloom gelatine in the water on a steel bowl for 7minutes
2

Add in all the other ingredients except icing sugar
3

In a bigger pan put some water and insert the steel bowl containing the ingredients then heat on a low heat to make the ingredients melt all together then pour in a large bowl and allow it to cool a bit before adding the icing sugar.
4

Add in the icing sugar little by little as you stir
5

Repeat the process until you achieve a dough like consistency but soft
6

Continue adding in the icing sugar, when the fondant gains thickness transfer it to a flat surface then start kneading with icing sugar then finally with a little corn starch flour

Below is the consistency expected as you knead

Make a ball and wrap it in a cling film for later use of say after 8 hours or so
