Marvellous Marshmallows
This recipe is based on one in a great book, better than store bought, by helen witty and elizabeth schneider. Toss on top of my snowy boulevard - or use in any recipe that calls for marshmallows!!
Steps
Place the water and gelatin in a small saucepan , leave for 10 minutes to soften , then add the sugar and heat gently to dissolve all the ingredients.
In the bowl of an upright mixer , add the remaining ingredients except the icing sugar , pour in the warm gelatin mixture and whisk on medium-high speed for 15 minutes.
The mixture will whiten and become thick with soft peaks.
