Recipe: Homemade Marshmallows
I wanted to learn to make marshmallows at home for those annoying days when I couldn't find some at the store.
Homemade Marshmallows:
2 1/2 cups (500g) sugar
3/4 cup (200mL) water
1/2 cup (125mL) water (for the gelatin)
2 1/4 tbsp (20g) gelatin
Pinch of salt
1 tsp vanilla extract or 1 tbsp vanilla sugar
Powdered sugar
While the sugar syrup is heating, add 1/2 cup water and gelatin to a bowl and stir to dissolve, allowing gelatin to bloom for about 5 minutes.
When the sugar syrup has reach the correct stage, remove from heat and allow to stand briefly.In the meantime, add gelatin to a stand mixer with a whisk attachment. Slowly add sugar syrup to gelatin mixture while mixture is beating on low.
Then beat mixture on medium high for about 6 minutes or until mixture triples in volume. Add salt and vanilla at the end.Pour mixture into buttered casserole dish.
Sift powdered sugar on the top of the marshmallows. Allow to stand at room temperature for about 6 hours. Cut into pieces with a buttered knife. Toss marshmallows in powdered sugar. These should last for at least 6 months.
Full disclosure, these did not turn out as fluffy as I thought they would. These are quite dry and hard for marshmallows.
I would say they taste more similar to the hard marshmallows in Lucky Charms cereal than the fluffy marshmallows you would roast over a fire.
But, considering there are moments when the hard marshmallows are appropriate, I thought I would still post the recipe.
