In the work bowl of a food processor, pulse flour and confectioners’ sugar until combined. Add 1½ tablespoons (22.5 grams) water and almond extract or rose water; pulse until combined and a soft dough forms.
Turn out dough onto a clean surface, and knead a few times to compact dough. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 6 weeks.
Notes
PRO TIP:Marzipan is also used to make adorable small candies. Tint it with small amounts of food coloring and shape as desired. Shade with a little bit of food coloring diluted with water and add a whole clove stem.
