Melt the fat in a saucepan over low heat with lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of water. Sift in 275g of icing sugar, bring to a boil, and stir until smooth. Remove from the heat. Stir in the remaining icing sugar. Knead the fondant while cold on a work surface dusted with icing sugar. As it cools, it will become firm and silky. Color with food coloring if desired.
