Guest guest Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 Marshmallows 2 1/2 t vegetable gelatin (Eme's Kosher Gel) 1 1/2 cups unrefined sugar 1 cup light corn syrup 1/2 cup cold water 1/2 cup water at room temperature 1/4 t salt 2 t vanilla extract (or flavoring of your choice) Cornstarch for dusting Combine vegetable gelatin with the cold water in the bowl of a mixer with a whisk attachment. Let stand for 1/2 hour. Mix the sugar, corn syrup, salt, and water in a saucepan. Stir it over low heat until the sugar is dissolved and a syrup has formed. Cook it until firmball stage (118C/244F on a candy thermometer). Remove pan from heat, and slowly and carefully pour the syrup into the gelatin/water mixture in your mixer. Beat the mixture at high speed until thick, white, and tripled in size, approximately 15 minutes if you stop before this time, you will have marshmallow creme which you can store in a jar and use like the commercial stuff). Add the vanilla and beat just long enough to incorporate it. Dust a 20 x 30 cm (8 x 12 inch) glass baking pan with cornstarch. Pour mixture into pan, and dust the top with more cornstarch. Wet your hands and pat the mixture to smooth out the top. Dust again. Let stand overnight to dry out, uncovered. Next morning turn the " marshmallow cake " out onto a board, and cut into small pieces with a dry, hot knife. Dust again. Makes about 45. ______________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends? Get the FREE Messenger http://uk.messenger./ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
