Fake marzipan - no almonds
A quick, simple and tasty, and much cheaper substitute for marzipan.
Preparation steps
- Cook the milk and sugar until the sugar dissolves. Then gradually add both types of flour and cook until it thickens, like pudding. Stir all the time, taking care not to burn. When the mass thickens, remove from the heat and add margarine and mix. Margarine will soften the mass and make it more liquid. Gradually add the aroma of almonds to taste, the amount depends on the manufacturer, I use the aroma of Dr. Oetker and you need 5 tablespoons for this amount of marzipan. Cover the mass and leave it to cool. When the mass is lukewarm, stir it, with the addition of powdered sugar and starch, as needed. (If the mass hardens and dries) (if you have cooked it for too long or left it to cool longer), just heat it in the microwave for 10-20 seconds and it will soften again.Wrap the mass in stretch foil or nylon bag.It can be prepared in advance, up to 2 weeks, it is only necessary to store it in the cold.When using it, heat it in the microwave and mix.
Serving
This mass can be used as a real marzipan, it can be colored, used to make figurines, to decorate cakes and pastries as a fondant mass, to make bombs, candies, to fill, as a filling for cakes, only it cannot be used in recipes where marzipan is baked.
