Rolled Buttercream

6 to 7 cups confectioners sugar
1 cup shortening
1 cup corn syrup
1 teaspoon clear vanilla several drops (or more) of flavoring of your choice

Beat shortening in mixer until smooth and creamy. Add corn syrup and desired flavorings. Blend together. Add 2 to 3 cups sugar to the shortening mixture. Knead in enough of the remaining sugar to make a flexible dough-like mixture. Like fondants, wrap well and cover so it does not dry out.

I had to add a lot more sugar and even then it was very fragile. I must say though, I am not very adept with fondant, so it might have just been me. I did mix this 1/2 & 1/2 with a package of fondant and it was a little better, and somewhat better tasting. it also stores better this way. Fondant dries out so easily, no matter how airtight I try to get it, but this stays soft.
