Marshmallow recipe

*Marshmallows are so much loved by children and adults all over the world.

And so I decided, why not to make it at home? After all it’s interesting to see the process of production, right?

There are tones of different recipes over the internet. I have found a simple one that I want to share with you. I loved it and for sure I’ll use it more.*

• Boil 155 ml of water. Turn the heat on low. Add 350 gm of sugar. Mix until sugar melts. Add lemon acid in it and cover the pot. ( use pan or pot with a thick bottom) Cook this syrup for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes Mix soda with a little bit of water in a tbsp and add it into the syrup. Cook it for 10 minutes and turn the heat off. Measure 160 ml of ready product. That is the amount of syrup we need to use later.

• Combine 20 gm of gelatin with 0,5 of water. Leave it for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes Use water bath to melt gelatin. When it’s melted, start whipping it with a mixer. (low speed)

• Combine 400 gm of sugar with the rest of water (130 ml). Pour out 160 ml of syrup that we made before, add salt. Mix it constantly until it boils. Once it’s boiling, change the heat for very low and let it cook for 8 minutes (don’t touch it).

• Back to mixer again. Add some vanillin for a nice smell (if you wish). And pour out sugar mixture into the gelatin. Start whipping at a minimum speed and go to maximum step by step. Whipping time at max is 15 minutes.

• Prepare baking dish. Cover it with a piece of foil and grease it with a little bit of oil. Pour out marshmallow mixture into it. And cover it with another piece of foil. Let it set for at least 6 hours.

After 6 hours + Combine cane sugar with a starch. Deep your knife into it and cut marshmallow into the pieces. Feel free to roll them in the same mixture of cane sugar and starch. They will not be sticky then.
