| 2 | c. confectioner's sugar | ||||||
| 1 | egg white | ||||||
| 1 | t. corn syrup | ||||||

Place syrup, vanilla and egg white in bowl and mix with wooden spoon or spatula. Sift confectioner's sugar and add to the mixture.
When ingredients are well-mixed, knead into a ball with your fingers. Sprinkle some corn flour on table or other flat surface. Spread out mixture and knead it until it becomes smooth and easy to handle like tortilla dough.
Make small skulls, crosses, coffins, flowers or any other shape. Leave figures on table to dry for three hours, then paint with vegetable coloring.
