- 1 tbsp powdered gelatine
- 2 tbsp rosewater
- ¼ tsp pink food colouring
- 320 g (2 cups) icing sugar mixture
Instructions
Place sugar, cream of tartar and 125 ml water in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir to dissolve sugar, then bring to the boil and cook for 15 minutes or until mixture reaches 125˚C on a sugar thermometer. Remove from heat.
Whisk gelatine with 80 ml boiling water until gelatine dissolves. Stir in 80ml water, rosewater and food colouring.
Strain gelatine mixture into sugar syrup and stir to combine. Pour into a greased loaf pan and refrigerate for 4 hours or until firm. Turn out onto a chopping board dusted with icing sugar. Using an oiled knife, cut into 18 squares. Toss in remaining icing sugar. Store for up to 1 month.
