Marzipan II

Ingredients

• 1 cup almond paste
• 2 egg whites
• 3 cups confectioners’ sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

In a large bowl, knead almond paste to soften. Mix in egg whites. Knead in confectioners' sugar 1 cup at a time. Add vanilla. Knead until marzipan feels like heavy pie dough.

Wrap tightly in plastic, and store in refrigerator in a sealed container. To use after storage, let stand at room temperature until soft, then knead briefly.
