• 1 egg white
• 1 cup sifted powdered sugar
• 2 rounded teaspoon tylose

Beat egg white lightly. Add powdered sugar slowly until a soft peak is formed. Add tylose. The mixture will immediately thicken. Gradually add more powdered sugar until a pliable texture is achieved. Rub a little vegetable shortening on your hands and work paste thoroughly. Gumpaste should not be sticky or hard. Paste is ready to use immediately. Store in a sealed plastic bag in a sealed plastic container for up to 3 months.
